Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Spring Internship Question

Hey guys,

I'm a sophomore and was wondering if it would be beneficial/worth it to pursue a spring PWM internship. The internship is unpaid (just receive academic credit) and says ~20 hours per week. I'm not exactly sure about transportation, but I'd guess around 15-20 minutes

What are your thoughts? Would it be worth it to take fewer credit hours and intern or should I take a normal course load and focus on landing a summer gig?

All input appreciated.

 

Take the internship. It's good relevant (somewhat, if you spin it right) experience for a sophomore and will help with landing an SA position. You can say that working along with taking a full course load and doing extra curriculars really challenged your work ethic and ability to manage your time wisely (which would probably be true).
