Need help selecting impending offers!!

Hi guys!

Just graduated from Dunder Mifflin institute of M&A and I received a few offers from some bulge bracket and middle markets firms.

I'd naturally select the BB route but unfortunately it's in their Debt Capital Markets and coming from an M&A focused university, I lack interest in this role. The bank is pretty prestigious... think: Wal-Mart/Target/Costco.

I have a better offer working in an industry group (Paper), which I find much more exciting and exponentially more interesting given my education. The bank of course is middle market .. think Trader Joes/Whole Foods/Safeway.

My father who is an MD at a boutique however is offering me a role in M&A and would promote me to an associate upon joining. Unfortunately I have no desire whatsoever to work for a firm around the same size as Kumar's Deli and the last thing I want is getting a job through a family connection.

This leaves me at a dilemma.. and I'd rather not starve. opinions?
