Dear Anyone,

I’m a third-year biology student, and I’m applying for various research positions for the summer. I’ve been offered two research jobs, and I’m in the process of deciding which one to take. It just so happens that I know which other students have already accepted positions. One job is researching lakes, and I’d be working with two other students that I really like. The other job is researching rivers with a girl I can’t stand. She’s conceited, a brown-noser and socially retarded. The problem is that I really want to go into river ecology in the future. The river project also pays a little more and is more prestigious than the lake project. But I just can’t stomach the thought of spending my entire summer with Little Miss Biology Diva. I’m torn between having a professionally rewarding summer and a socially rewarding summer. What should I do?

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?

Vote for Option A   
A:  Take the lake job. Summer is the time to have a blast and avoid losers, not obsess about money and career moves.
Vote for Option B   
B:  More interest, more money and more prestige for the river job? Do we actually need to vote on this for you?
Vote for Option C   
C:  Flip a coin. The pros and cons are split down the middle.
