I'm entering my senior year of college (non-target) as an information systems major. I have been working for the last five years as a systems administrator for an insurance company. My plan has been to graduate and then obtain a good job in the IT field for five years or so and then apply to an MBA program. Eventually (with luck) I hope to end up working for an investment bank or PE firm. Anyways, there's a guy in my building who is an MD for a startup investment bank that is focusing on the newspaper/media sector. I'm pretty sure that I could snag an internship from him, but it would surely bite into my time for classes and other activities. My question is, would this be a productive internship or would I be better off to just wait until I have started my MBA to begin ibank internships? If I did complete the internship, I am still doubtful that I could get a middle market ibank job (upon graduation from undergrad) due to my non-target state school.

Thank you
