How do I exit in sales and trading?

Hi, I'm currently at a semi-target in Canada doing my undergrad in finance. I have a decent GPA of around 3.9 and I am looking to exit in sales and trading. What direction/classes should I try taking? I'm also in my school's co-op program that helps land me interships, I was planning on staying in the program for my first and second internships but try to find a better one on my own for the last internship.

I was thinking about adding a computer science minor too. And if needed go to grad school, hopefully to a target like Ivey or something else.

Is there anything you'd recommend to me doing? I know a few people in the industry that I've talked to a bit and wanted to get you all's opinions.
