I've looked up the job potential of my finance degree both on WSO and on google, but all the sites I have visited seem to imply the best I can do is either:
1) be a financial analyst
2) become a banker
3) become a consultant
Is this really all there is? Just banking and consulting? Are there any job routes one can take with a finance degree from a target school besides these 2?

Here you go, three new job routes which will all lead to become CEO in the future. No matter where you go, I am sure you will be successful with your target school background. Might as well start from the bottom to make the most of it.
@azchaser thanks for that ridiculously helpful answer.

Since you've ignored all of the practical options, what are your hobbies? If you enjoy art, you could join the finance department of a media company. Same goes for technology, science, food science, sports, and so on. Doesn't sound like your passion lies in finance, or making large sums of money.
oh oh oh you forgot trading.
