WSO conference and Business cards

Like many of you here, I'm going to the WSO conference this month and I plan on networking and meeting a whole bunch of you and will most likely be handing out a bunch of business cards.

Here's my dilema:
I don't currently work in IB/PE/AM or even anything finance related what so ever and have been desperately trying to break in.
I can get business cards designed and printed up for free. (my friend works at a print shop)

so, in following, should I hand out my unrelated business cards to the people I meet at the conference or should I have business cards printed up with my own information on it and hand those out?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe put up your school and major on them. I used to have ones like that with email and phone number. It seemed to work.
