Work Experience > Education on Resume?

So lets say I go to an upper-tier LAC (Amherst/Pomona/Middlebury), but have an internship "more prestigious" than my education would suggest. Let's say Citadel Fundamental L/S equity for argument's sake. Would you suggest putting work experience ahead of Education on a resume? I know it is not common practice, but just wondering as it may be catchier than Education.
