Shanghai Internship

Some background information about me, I'm an international freshman from Australia studying in the U.S. at a semi-target school.

I found an internship opportunity in Shanghai for Commonwealth Bank in private wealth management/retail banking this summer. I'm looking to pursue a career in investment banking/trading, or potentially management consulting.

Although not directly related to investment banking/ trading, I was wondering I should take this internship opportunity? My other alternative is doing research in computer science at university.
