I did not graduate yet, so I am not going to be that much of a help. However, I think you should try everything, either work in the industry or academia. Since you are still young you have time to explore all kinds of jobs before you actually decided on what you want to do. Try to spend a couple of years to discover what you like more, if you find yourself that you like research more then go with academia, if you find yourself in need of a good starting salary and a set schedule then go with industry. Other than that just make yourself open to any experience that will benefit you, and later on you might find a job position that consists of research and projects in the industry, that is if you like both fields.
