High School Graduate, Ultimately want to get into Investment Banking. Should I take this Wealth Management internship offer?

So I’m just going to get right to the point. I just graduated high school, and my goal is to eventually get into investment banking or straight to private equity albeit that’s unlikely. I emailed almost a hundred wealth management firms in the near and distant area, one has given me an offer.

As a high school graduate, there’s not much value I can give but they’re letting me manage their social media accounts. I’m probably going to take it, as it’s better than working at the local McDonald’s but I wanted to get some other opinions on this as well. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
