High Paying Careers For Non Targets

Currently a sophomore at GWU, and I’m curious as to what high paying jobs non target students can get into consistently. I know that banking is a possibility, but it’s honestly a crap shoot if you’re not at a T25 school. Are there any careers that you guys know of that aren’t very concerned about UG prestige, and have the potential to be extremely lucrative?
