<p>None of the dozen firms I’ve worked with/for would care whether you were in Honors. Your major and GPA are important. And the name of the college can be a significant plus. But I cannot recall a single case where “Honors Status” was even mentioned … never mind being a reason to hire.</p>
<p>You haven’t asked, but if you were to choose between Honors Program or Semester Abroad, I’d suggest the Semester Abroad. It’s a clear indication that you’re willing to take on a challenge … and it’s a wonderful topic in a job interview.</p>
