Small VC fund or traditional Consulting route?

I currently go to a non-target school and was offered a position at a small, Silicon Valley VC firm that just closed their first fund. I was also heavily considering going the consulting route because I think I would enjoy the exposure to different industries and fast pace, but many of my graduated friends are telling me to take the VC job. Any thoughts?
