Merrill Lynch vs. Scottrade

Well Ive been offered internships at both companies, I am currently an undergraduate senior.

Would it be wiser to take an unpaid internship at Merrill Lynch?

Or a paid internship at Scottrade?

The Merrill Lynch internship however is only unpaid for the first few months, then I would receive compensation

Thanks in advance

 

ML, I don't even think it matters which division or region, ML > Scottrade

Jack: They’re all former investment bankers who were laid off from that economic crisis that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have zero real world skills, but God they work hard. -30 Rock
