tremendous choice...what should i do?

i am technically a senior who could graduate in may. i discovered an interest in finance over this past summer. needless to say, i struck out with ft recruiting this past fall.

anyway, i just landed an sa stint with a top-tier bb firm. given how much ft hiring will likely suck, should i go ahead and take the offer, thereby delaying graduation a few months (a huge risk i think). my other option is to finish up, do something else, and try my luck at ib in the future.

what do you think?
