Had a terrible year and will be ending with a ~3.0 gpa after junior year. I've pretty much given up on finance, what other career options do I have that make 50k a year?

I hear McDonald Manager makes above 50k a year. Really, suck it up and takes some easy classes in the summer and redeem yourself. Most of the time companies don't even look at your transcript for internships. Just pick up the phone and call up for a PWM internship, they take any warm bodies that can string together a couple of words.
^ THAT and take every random finance related experience you can between now and the time you graduate
A 3.0 isn't the end of the world, but is a signal that you must become proactive i.e. no more cold emailing, now its cold calling; no more trying to negotiate paid internships, now its unpaid. Shit like that bro. good luck.
