Non-target school grad/non-MBA: Do I have a chance?

Hey all, 

I have interest in many different forums in here, mainly IB and ER. I am a 26yo financial services professional who has worked at a couple discount brokerage houses in different capacities, but have been looking for a change.

Wondering what research firms that people know which are not necessarily known for recruiting kids from target schools, or if someone had a similar background as me who has ended up in ER. I am in Florida :florida-man: and open to opps in south florida (miami/WPB).
