If you don't know what you want to do...

If you don't know what kind of career you want (Principle investing ala VC,PE,HF vs. operations/management ala CEO/VP/Running companies)

what is a better start out of college to give you the most options later?

BB I-Banking at a top5 bank, or mgmt consulting with top 3 M/B/B?

Thanks

aspmonkey is correct .... M/B/B is a great palce to start but u probably won't have hedge funds trying to recruit u after ur 2 year stint
