Worth undertaking?

I interviewed for an internship at a BB subset in private wealth management, but from the interview I got the idea that I was going to be more of a glorified secretary. Mainly just doing bullshit work rather than actually getting my hands dirty or having anything that would stand out as a resume experience.

My question is whether or not this is even worth undertaking? The only reason I am considering it is because of the BB name on the resume, but there are no guarantees that I would have any quantitative factors to add to a resume. It would be more along the lines of what an office secretary could put on a resume.

I am a to be junior and this is an internship that would last throughout the school year. I will be trying to get a summer internship next year in IBD somewhere.

Is it worth it?

Its experience regardless, and shows that you can balance a part time job with a full school schedule. Of course take the internship.
