How to decide which industry to go into?

Hello, rising sophomore looking to get into finance with currently ZERO background. How did you decide between the different industries out there (IB RE, AM, etc.)? What resources, articles, websites gave you the best idea of each and how did you make your decision? Asking because I want to apply for internships for next summer
