Experience vs Party

If you had to choose between a free short-term experience at a top firm (i.e. UBS Sophomore Symposium, Freshman Frenzy, etc) and attending one of the biggest parties (cost $200-$250) in the south, what would you choose? And why?

DaCarezHah, Banker88, angry much? What do you want to do, medium-term? Be on www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com or work in banking? Choose from there.

Am I crazy that I can't get enough of this site? I find that the guys are far douchier than the girls are hot...but that's all we really care about anyway, isn't it?

That country music festival?

Do you want to be in banking or do you want to have a new pictures tagged of you on Facebook?

 

^^^ Agreed. Never ever pass up a party unless something of value conflicts with it.
