New to WSO interested in Sales & Trading

Hey all I am first semester senior studying economics at a middle-tier state school with a 3.2 GPA. I am currently looking to bag an internship for the summer preferably as prop trading intern or some sort of trading intern. A small wealth management firm has already offered me an internship but I am not sure if I should take the internship as it is not necessarily the path I am looking to go down in the future. I am mainly looking for any and all the advice I can get. I'd eventually like to be working in Sales & Trading. If you all have any ideas or input for me I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers!
