As far as your chosen fields, you should talk to the career offices at schools and see what companies are hiring graduates and the breakdown of industries they are going into. Some school have this on their websites.
However, keep in mind that most Private Equity and Venture Capital firms tend to hire people with previous experience in investment banking–even from top schools, jobs in these fields tend to be scarcer than jobs in other fields (smaller firms and high demand for these jobs) and you may have difficulty breaking in without related experience.
Edited to add: Internships don’t count as full time work experience. B-schools will be much more interested in full time work than internships.
