Please let me pick a career - Hedgefund accounting/Banking/Credit Rating

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

As a bit of background, I'm located in NYC and went to a non target school majoring in finance.

I'm graduating in this semester and I have a few offers. I cant decide with path to pursue, I'm looking for a path to build my career and make some $$$

Here a short list of offers I have received

1) Entry level account for a startup hedge fund 2) Rotational program from a international bank (Like HSBS) 3) Working in Structured Finance for 1 of the top 3 credit rating agencies.

any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
