Many experienced product managers did not intentionally follow a specific career path, but rather were interested in business, technology and solving problems for users, before eventually realizing that this is actually what the role of product manager is all about.
However, nowadays, product management is a very concrete and lucrative IT career that is likely to grow significantly in the coming years. If you are interested in a career path that intersects technology, business, management, and product design, then there are a number of steps you should take during your college years.
First, consider what hiring managers and recruiters likely look for when trying to fill their product management roles: first and foremost, they will screen for prior product management experience. Therefore, your job will be to acquire as much similar or overlapping experience to product management as possible. Let's examine what the properties of product management are, and how you can get similar experience.
1. Make a list of the top 100 companies where you'd like to work, and identify internship product management (or related) positions available there.
2. Identify those companies within that list that have internship positions and apply with your best product management resume.
Customize your resume for maximum relevant and overlapping PM experience:
+ have you launched anything, a business, a website, a student club?
+ have you organized anything? a student group, a social event?
+ what type of leadership experience do you have?
+ what are some examples of any efforts you've participated in which required extensive collaboration with others?

3. For companies where no internship positions are available, you could and should still reach out directly to the PM working for that company, and ask if any internships positions are available.
Use LinkedIn to identify and message the product leads in those companies:
"Hello, my name is Alex, I'm very excited about learning about product management, and I was wondering whether there may be any internship opportunities in your company around product management? Thanks in advance for your time!"
Most of the time, you will get a response back, assuming you are being sincere and honest about your efforts and interest to get into the role of product management. You are offering your time in exchange for experience; perhaps you can interview users, or iterate on user interface improvements, or review product specifications, or anything else that has a product focus.
4. Don't over index on your apparent lack of experience.
While in you're in college, it's the perfect time to keep learning. Take courses, read books, and learn as much as you can.
Make as many product manager contacts as you can. Later on, this will be very useful to you as you will have access to referral, business and partnership opportunities as those contacts continue to develop their careers.
5. Lastly -- try to build and launch a product. :)
It doesn't have to have traction, it doesn't need to be wildly successful, but the experience of trying to build and launch something will provide invaluable insights into the career of product management.
Focus on learning, finishing your education and you'll be set up for future success getting into the PM role!
