Undergrad looking for advice

I am an junior in undergrad studying economics and am interested in finance. If I am being completely honest I don't want to work the typical corporate job but am happy to start in one right out of college as a stepping stone. The discipline in finance that I want to pursue is not clear to me yet, however I am more interested in trading and stock analysis than anything else at the moment. I would appreciate any resources or advice on how to gain practical experience in the industry. Thanks.
