So ACE is going to be spending next fall working in Washington, DC

I think I'm leaning toward the Securities and Exchange Commission, but I'm also thinking about the FTC or perhaps an economic think-tank like EPI.

What are LL's thoughts?

Uh, well first of all go with whichever one you think you'll enjoy the most, no sense in spending time doing something you don't enjoy if you can help it, and if you enjoy all of them, find out which has the best working environment, etc.

Secondly though, which one will provide a better networking opportunity for future employment opportunities?

I think you shouldn't refer to yourself in the third person. But best of luck to you!

Look at the jobs and see which works best for you. Make a pro/con list. Then I would apply to them all and set up interviews for all of them. Make your decision based on what you learn from the interview and how you perceive the field/people you'd be working with.

That's the question I've been asking myself, and the answer is....I'm not really sure.

I was leaning toward Securities and Exchange because I think it'll look best on my resume when I'm applying for stuff on Wall Street when I graduate, but I'm not sure at this point.

Tough problem to have, eh?
