What other career paths should I target?

I am a sophomore at a semi-target/target for Chicago and fringe semi-target for NY (Think BIG 10 schools). I am dead set on IB so my focus is on that right now. Also, I plan on networking soon (potentially for roles this summer) for Junior year SA.

Now my question:
It is obviously very competitive in landing SA and FT roles. This makes me ask, what other career paths should I target in case I strike out on IB?

I know I'm just a sophomore but having no plan is not my style.

Any input is appreciated.
