Career advice

[BDaws]

I would go with number 1.

I don't know since I'm just a college kid, but I think you could make a lot more contacts in finance for future business ventures than you could as a speech writer. Also, the analytical and quantitative nature of trading would lend itself better to starting a business, right?

Another positive is your superiors can very easily identify how you are performing in job 1. In number 2, the promotions and all that would probably be swayed more by politics.

Just trying to add something constructive. I don't really know what I'm talking about though.
