Advice for a young college kid

Hello everyone,

My name is David and I am currently entering my sophomore year of college as a management major. However, I am strongly considering switching over to majoring in finance. From my understanding management is too broad and I will probably have more success in the job market with a financial degree. Now, I am sure that many people have asked this question here before; but what are some things that I can be doing now in school that will help make me stand out among other people graduating with similar degrees?
