2nd year econ student

2nd year econ student here, and I feel like I might’ve chosen the wrong path.

I wanted to get into finance, but most people keep talking about CA, CFA, or MBA and I’m not sure I want to go down those routes.What are the other ways to break into finance? Like roles in equity research, corporate finance, analytics, etc.Also, what should I focus on right now to actually have a chance with skills, internships, certifications?

Feeling a bit lost and don’t want to waste the next 1 year, Any advice would help.

not particularly in quant but generally in finance field
