I've found that no matter what you want to do, no matter what industry, getting an internship is the way to go. It's a cost effective way to find out if it's a career you want and if the company wants you. There's not nearly as much competition for internships as for real jobs, not as much pay either, but you save a lot of time by finding out right away if that's what you want to do, and more importantly, having a good opportunity to do it. When you apply for a job, you’re just a single piece of resume paper in a big stack. When you’re a former intern applying for a job, you’re no longer a piece of paper, but a person that they know and trust. Huge difference.
Most people have the hardest time figuring out what they want to do. Mainly because no one can tell you the answer. Your best bet I think is to get out there and apply for internships and see for yourself. You should have career counselors as well that can give you an idea what the career paths are that you may be interested in. Usually the first step is not trying to find the answer, but the process needed to find it. Hope this helps.
