Honours Semester or Work Experience?
guys, need your help deciding something for me. i'm currently doing my third internship with a MM in their Risk group, have had prior experience working in FP&A and Business Development for different companies but I've had trouble landing an IB SA gig in my city (coming from a non-target and have done quite a bit of networking but to no avail unfortunately - most boutiques weren't hiring).
anyways, i'm pretty much done my UG degree (not so great gpa around a 3.3) but i'm registered in an Honours program, which requires me to do one more semester before I grad. My last semester should be this coming Fall. I am undecided right now, as to whether I should
1) Finish an Honours semester in the Fall OR
2) Do a 4th work term with some other company (I'm not confident I can get a IB internship gig in the fall, but there are some good companies out there looking for people such as GE cap, and some small buy side firms)
**Note - I need to finish before 2012, meaning by the end of Dec 2011, I will be FINISHED my last semester at school or have COMPLETED my internship (for personal reasons)
Since I will also be going for FT recruiting in the fall, I don't know which will be more valuable. The reason I was doing an Honours Degree was because most bankers seem to have a Degree with Honours so that's what I was doing. However, I am unsure at this point as to whether work experience trumps an Honour semester or vice versa.
Any help deciding is appreciated Thanks

imho, that would depend on the new internship. can you do a dual-track and apply to companies while also keeping your options open re Honours sem?
