Careers Paths w/ GPA and Experience

I'm a rising junior at a smaller school named St. Bonaventure University in downstate NY, the caveat to that is we have a vast alumni network with many students sent to The Street. I currently have a 3.91 GPA and am a dual Finance/Accounting major. I am also the manager of our schools Energy Hedge Fund which currently has 275K of real AUM in which we trade oil and natural gas contracts and derivatives as well as energy related equity's. Also in conjunction with this, myself and my partner in trading, the funds GM are in the process of creating a NG regression model to forecast spot price. With all this in mind I am looking for a little guidance/advice to what potential careers are out there for me and how tough/easy my job search will be coming from a small, non Ivy, school. Another thing to add is I am not dead set on getting into energy so there are many other paths I am comfortable going down. Thanks in advance for any replies, advice is always appreciated.
