Philosophy major, math minor

Rising junior at Washington and Lee University (#10 LAC). Majoring in Philosophy, minoring in math. Ideally I'd like to go into hospitality finance (real estate in general interests me). I had an internship with a well-known hotel management/dev company this past summer doing revenue management. My GPA is 3.6. I also have take Micro, Macro and intermediate Micro econ classes.

Basically, am I SOL because of my philosophy degree, or will my internship experience, heavy networking and math minor (that includes quant coursework like Linear Algebra) help me push through any disadvantages? I have experienced a lot of discouragement lately and I'm starting to get anxious and depressed.
