Starting at Columbia soon, what finance job is right for me?

No idea what job I really want to do and a lot of my friends are telling me I'm already a bit late to recruiting.

I'm a transfer student, starting my sophomore year soon.

Does anyone know a role that is relatively easy to recruit for and doesn't have crazy hours? I'm aware this means the pay won't be great like IB, I'm okay with that. I'm really just looking for a job that I can get easily and have a chill life.
