Operational Risk or Corporate Treasury internship?

I'm a sophomore at a target school, and I have to make a decision relatively quickly. I got an offer from a small F500 company in their treasury department, doing some things related to market forecasting and capital investment. I also have an offer from the federal housing finance agency (FHFA) in their operational risk task force, doing research on operational risk events throughout the financial sector and collecting financial data on companies.

If I am aiming for IBD internship at a BB for junior summer, what would be the better choice?

In my opinion, the FHFA; both sound kind of boring, but a) it's sophomore summer so you're ahead of the game anyways, and b) FHFA would probably give you pretty good exposure to some of the issues revolving around the housing/subprime stuff and that's good knowledge anyways.

Just my 2 cents. I'm a junior heading into a gig for the summer, and if I would've had to make the choice last summer, I would've picked FHFA.
