Poor GPA Undergrad Poli Sci Ivy League Student

Hey everyone, I am brand new to this. As the title explains, I am an undergrad Poli Sci student at an Ivy who is graduating this year. I will most likely end up with a GPA between 2.9 and 3.0. I could go work at a political advertising agency after graduating, but I wanted to ask if there is any hope for me to work in IB, PE, HF, RE, CO, etc.? Thanks in advance!
