How to Figure Out What Industry to Choose in Finance?

I’m going into my junior year of college and am majoring in finance with a minor in management. I’m looking for internships next summer and don’t know what positions/industries I should be applying to. Does anyone know what I should do?

Watch some YouTube videos then reach out to professionals and talk to them.

Better yet, talk to a professor
