Transferable careers from compliance?

Hey, all. I just started an internship in compliance at a BB and tbh I am not liking it much. Of course, I just started the internship so maybe I’ll grow to love it later but I find the work not technical or fast-paced enough. I’m definitely more of a math guy than a reading guy. I’m currently a rising senior and feel I made a mistake accepting this internship. I accepted it because I’m one of those people who had no idea what they wanted to do career-wise until late. Have any of you had cases where you didn’t like your internship and found ways to pivot?
