Job Out of College Advice

This summer I was working at a small corp dev/capital markets group in a tier 2 city. I was in clean energy for context. I didn't get a return offer due to my team being really small, so I'm looking for a job. My main goal is to have a heavy financial modeling career as its something that I really enjoy, I even do it in my free time for fun. I have a job offer to do hedge fund accounting that pays well. Then on the other hand I might land an offer in credit for a lot less. Which route would be best to go down if I want to do modeling, or do both suck and I should keep looking.
