Volunteer Marketing Job at a Start-up Financial Firm

I found this new small financial firm relatively close to home. They offer Marketing volunteer position. Even though I don't want anything related to marketing I'm 18 years old, first year undergraduate and finding good internships will be hard without experience. Should I take this position just for the name on the resume ?

You should get a life. I didn't know what I wanted to do until I was 21 (and I still have doubts) and I'm at a BB for IBD. Most of my peers are this way. Some people we interview are total tools/overachievers who always talk about how much they wanted to do finance ever since they were 10 or something. Those are the people who get dinged.

 

LOL. Who said I'm different... Everything changed since I read this forum. Everybody is talking about how extremely competitive banking is how hard it is to get a job and so on. I got fucking scared !
