Quick background on myself...just graduated with second degree in May

Associates in IT-Computer Networking
Bachelor's in Business Administration

I have an offer on the first two already.

First Job:
Financial Firm in Middleton WI Filbrandt & Company
Growing firm
My job would be to setup the travel time for sales people and the people that talk during the seminars...kind of grunt work, some interaction with potential clients, lead generationalist
Small firm, 15 or so employees
Get the chance to learn more about finance and maybe move up into something more financial related
30k/year

Second Job:
Magazine Publishing Company Reiman Publishing Group Inc. (owned by Reader's Digest)
Work wish SAS and Encode (SQL code database) to rent mailing lists to the third party vendor
Much better benefits than first job
Much bigger than first job, 500+ employees
32k/year

I also have a ride-a-long with Paychex (publicly traded) on Tuesday morning in Milwaukee.
Outside selling position
33-36k/year

Thanks for any advice fellas/ladies. I'm leaning towards the second job...learning SAS would be valuable.

PER REQUEST: POLL ADDED
 
On the third, if you' re any good at selling, 33-36K a year is an insult.

If you're not good at selling, then you'll hate it.

And being a salesperson's bitch at a 15 person firm is going to suck, especially because most salespeople are assholes.

So, 1 and 3 would be out of consideration. Number 2 would be the one out of the three, although working for large companies has its own set of issues.
 
I think I could be good with sales...I have some retail experience (I know its different than B2B sales but the concept is somewhat the same)...

I think Paychex could possibly be a good place too. I would only do the financial place to learn more about finance and portfolio management in hopes to moving up.
 
I wouldn't touch a company that has anything to do with print media unless you're prepared to constantly keep your resume up to date and ready to go.

I'm assuming you are talking about the lack of readership that a lot of newspapers are facing and thinking that it may affect the magazine business. I address those issues in both interviews and they acknowledge and are trying to be proactive and using E-Commerce to their advantage. The thing is, if I can get 3-5 years of SAS experience I should be able to update the resume and move on if I haven't found the right growth at this company.

Reiman publications is owned by Ripplewood Holdings (private equity) who recent bought out Reader's Digest
