What industry to pursue based on interests?

I'm a freshman in college at a HYPSW school. I have a lot of interests ranging from tech to parts of banking/pe, but lately I've found a real interest in looking at big picture, macro things--commodities prices/modeling, how politics are impacting markets, etc. Obviously this is very broad, but is there an area of finance that is best suited for this that I might want to look more into? HF is my initial thoughts, but overall not sure. Thanks!
