Finance student advice

Hello, I am currently a third year finance student at SUNY New Paltz and I have questions about my prospects. Since I go to such an irrelevant school, I am having second thoughts about my future. I used to study accounting but I enjoy finance much more and I am getting much better grades in these classes. My main concern is that I will not be marketable after graduation trying to find work not just on Wall Street, but in any financial capacity. I am curious as to what other possibilities are out there for a finance major from a small school. Thank you!
