How does a CS major get an internship

I am genuinely passionate about trading. I am 19 and although I may not be the best I feel that I spend almost all day thinking about the markets every day - and I am sure that most of you guys are as well. my point is now I am going to be a rising junior with maybe 2-3 more applications that are being reviewed which will be my last changes. my last two internships - after freshman and now this summer post sophomore - will be at large tech companies that most of the planet has heard of. i am not passionate about tech though or even software development if I am being honest. i just got into coding early and got good. so what do I do? i am thinking of recruiting new grad and if not getting my masters and trying to get an internship that way.
