Jobs out of non-target

Hello, fellow chimps, I am currently a sophomore at a community college, soon to be transferring to a non-target, medium-sized (sub 500 ranked/ top 50%) D1 to play baseball. I currently have a great mentor in IB, although I am unsure exactly what I would want to do. I've looked at IB, PE, and consulting so far. I am just wondering what options would be available in the world of finance coming out of a non-target school? Would it be best to get an MBA to help facilitate the job process? As well as how athletics could possibly help land a job?

Appreciate it, it has definitely been a thought. I already have a family member in a Big 4 firm trying to set up an internship for this upcoming summer.
