Currently, I am a rising sophomore with a 4.0 GPA from a non-targeting school ranked 29 on US news. I am just thinking if I fail to get a SA offer in my junior year, what can I do with my major in finance. And does that mean I will be unemployed after graduation？Can I even apply for a graduate school without much experience in technology and stuff?
