 Symbols are great. You should probably keep on using symbols in most of the places that you currently do. There are, however, certain situations that enums are better suited for. For instance:
 
   * A variable can take on a finite set of known, named, values.
-  > The set of values that a variable can take on define that variable's type. Rather than just scattering symbols throughout your code that modifes the variable, it is frequently helpful to encapsulate the type information in one place. An enum, being a lightweight, in-line class definition, is an ideal place to do this. Examples of this type of situation would be when you need to represent days-of-the-week or drink sizes available

   * A dual name/value representation is needed. This is particularly common when you have a set of possible values with an inherent ordering.
