Pass on Better Internship

I will be a rising junior this summer. Last summer I interned as a project accountant for a major construction company. If I work there again this summer I will earn $20/hour plus 15 hours a week overtime for 14 weeks. I don't necessarily need the money, but it would obviously be nice.
Is it worth giving up a pretty good (not great) IB internship? As in, will it kill me next year as I look for my last internship?

 

take the IB internship no question. Think long term payoff instead of having a few extra bucks for spending $ next year
