What job can you get at an bulge bracket investment bank if you are a non-target with low/medium GPA?

Everyone knows that you need to come from a target school with a high GPA to become a person with the job title "Investment Banking Analyst" at the Bulge Bracket Investment Banks like GS, MS, Barclays and etc.

But I am wondering what OTHER jobs can a recent finance graduate from a non-target and medium GPA like 3.0 get at the bulge bracket investment banks that is NOT titled "Investment Banking Analyst" with the high requirements. 

I know that the IB Analyst starting salary is like $100k a year + bonus but I dont mind working another "low" job at the bulge bracket banks for like $50k a year because of my mediocre resume.

Dont say something snotty like "janitor" but I would like to get involved with some type of finance related work...
