Things to do in College?

Hi, I am now currently a college freshman majoring in Math, and probably would do econ, but I am not sure. I was an engineering major and now thinking of doing things related with finance. Have no idea how to start everything again. Is there a specific place for college students to talk about career development? What we should do in college? What kind of resources we could get in college to prepare for our career? Thanks!

Depends on what school you're at. Different ones have different options. Also depends on what kind of Finance career you want ... IBD is going to require a less quantitative background than say trading/quant-HF

My advising probably ends with my school. Except for talking in rough terms about the value of particular quantitative courses.
