Help on choosing internship

Hi everyone, I am very new to this website. I am just really struggling over which internship I should choose because my family and friends are relatively clueless when it comes to business, and I am searching for some advice. I was planning on the commercial banking route, coming from a top public university with a good GPA. I have little experience in business, but landed a commercial banking internship with a top 15 bank in the U.S. and was pretty dead set on accepting the offer. Then, I received another offer for a Risk Management position at a BB Bank in the city where I go to college. The risk management position pays $10/hr more than the commercial banking internship, and I wouldn't have to move and find someone to sublease my room for the summer. It logistically makes a lot more sense to take the Risk Management position, but after reading several forums, I have become worried about the possible exit opportunities from a middle office role. I do not want to be stuck in a middle office role forever, as I have aspirations to become a relationship manager in commercial banking. I was wondering if it would be difficult to find another position in commercial banking after a summer spent in risk management at a BB bank over the summer. I would also like to possibly work for a larger bank than the one I have a current internship offer for, but, I shouldn't be complaining. It is a great opportunity. Any help or insight into this dilemma is greatly appreciated.
