College Sophomore Seeking VC Career Advice

So I'm a sophomore currently doing a VC internship in NYC focused on Series A. I know I don't want to do IB after college, but I definitely want to do finance out of college. Should I work in VC straight out of college? If so, should I work in a large VC or early VC? What would make me more valuable? 


Or should I work in a startup out of college? If so, what role is best if I want to re-enter the VC space?
