Reality check. It is delusional to think the average college student has a choice between those two options, unless they have some serious connections. A very small fraction of college graduates would even be considered by Wall Street firms. Unless one has a degree in something like finance, economists, advanced mathematics or statistics, from a very prestigious University, and graduates at or close to the top of their class, getting a prestigious Wall Street position is close to impossible.
