Am I crazy? Healthcare consulting FT vs. M&A advising internship

Title tells the story, I just graduated from a non target and got offered an internship that seems to have great early experience with buy/sell side deal exposure, and also just seems to pair well with future career aspirations. But, I have a FT offer at a solid HC consulting firm that also seems to be good experience early, I’m just not too passionate about HC (maybe that’d change?). Planning on taking the internship as I’m confident in my abilities and the work I’ll put in over the summer. Posting this to have someone tell me I’m an idiot (or that I’m not). Thanks!
