BB Internship for HS Senior

Should I do a paid internship ($7-10/hr) at a BB investment bank even if I'm going to be doing crap work (administrative, pr, research, communications)? Will the big name IB on my resume do anything when I search for itnernships in college?

obviously this is a great opportunity and you know it.

I fixed computers for people during 11th and 12th summer breaks. Usually worked between 6pm~10pm (when people don't have work), three days per week so I had most of my time for free to spend.

and besides, all the transaction took place in cash, so no tax...

also, my friend played organ at funerals for $100~150/hr (plus all the tips people gave). two to four hours each funeral and about two funerals per week. all in cash.

 

come on, it's not worth it. Banking before college, and even college kids are sacrificing their social time to get their gpa as close to 4.0 mark, reading WSJ everyday, and sucking up to those who already have banking experience?

come on, it's not worth it.

go play ps3 or something
