Bridgewater Non-Finance Exit Opps

Undergrad with the opportunity to work at Bridgewater and no idea what I want to do long-term. I know that if you go into consulting (MBB) you can come out with exit opps far beyond consulting/corporate dev (think government, NGO, research, think tank positions, masters degrees, start-up opportunities, etc. - basically whatever you would've done you can do now but (a) easier shot at getting it (b) you move up the hierarchy a bit faster and do less grunt work). Would this be at all similar for Bridgewater? Advice on where else to apply or if I should take it?
