Any actuaries out there? Graduating senior seeks advice on exams, related fields, entry-level positions.

As a double major in math and economics, I am very interested in pursuing a career in actuarial science. I have passed one SOA exam FM and taken exam MFE in March. Currently, I am studying for exam P. Without prior internship experience, I find it very hard to start a career in actuarial science. Should I consider starting a career in related fields while completing more exams? Would you have any tips to learn VBA? Thank you very much for reading this. I greatly appreciate it!
