Alternative jobs to break into Banking.

Say you can't get any banking job. You have a 3.4 GPA from a Non- target, Winter graduation. Whats the plan? Would trying to get a job in the finance division of a fortune 500 be the best bet? Are those jobs even possible to get with 3.4 GPA? Is it even worth trying to apply in the Fall with a 3.4 or should you wait for Winter graduation when you have a higher GPA in the books. Any advice will be appreciated thanks.
