Backup Plans?

Sophomore at nontarget just now realizing how hard SA recruiting is from a non target lol. P sure I got dinged from my first SD yesterday so need to start thinking of backup plans.

I will graduate with a 4.0 - thinking of applying to law school, know I'll get a solid LSAT with some studying (took a cold practice one recently and got a 170). Have also heard FLDPs are a good option.

At risk of being too blunt, what are the best opportunities to make 150k+ out of college/postgrad? TBH my family is poor as shit and I literally only care about money to help my parents out.
