Good Idea to Jump into PE ???

My concerns include the skills acquired at the analyst level, the exit opportunities, and the future of the industry.

If an undergraduate were able to secure an analyst position at a MM PE, would this be a great opportunity for the individual to acquire valuation skills, be involved in client interaction, and possibly open opportunities in the future?
