<p>OP,
Do not be discouraged. With your gpa and a Penn degree, you will get a job but maybe not the job you want. Very few people stay at their first job after college forever. You can start with some job, better yourself and look for better opportunities.</p>
<p>There is some truth to students can get jobs in many fields with many majors especially from an Ivy with high gpa. But it doesn’t come free. You must prepare your studies/classes, your knowledge, your activites and your work experience toward the fields you are interested in. You must prepare very hard for the interviews.</p>
<p>S is working at one of the top three consulting companies this summer. One of his college friend who is a political science major is working there also. In addition to having > 3.9 gpa, they practiced endless hours on cases. The weekend before their interview, they practiced something like 20 hours and they have been practicing/studying months before that.</p>
<p>S also interviewed at Blackrock and he told me the type of questions they asked. English and Political Science classes alone will not prepare you enough for those interview questions. As others have pointed out, you need to take math/finacne type of classes and do more preparation on your own. If quantitative type of classes/studying is not for you, you really need to think if finance is for you.</p>
<p>Take a step back. What classes have you taken? What activites and work experience do you have? What are your strengths? Based on those, what jobs would you most likely qualify for? What jobs are you interested in? What can you do to get there?</p>
