Part-time (school year) PWM internships

I'm curious on what opinions WSO has on PWM internships during the school year if I'm interested in investment banking. I'm at a non-target (although I'd say it has strong representation in in a few smaller banks regionally) and I'm limited to my selection of finance related internship opportunities. There are few no-name PWM firms right of campus that I could work for during the school year and I imagine it would be something for my resume as well as a job I could handle during the school year. I have no experience yet as a rising sophomore and it seems like a good idea, but the general consensus on here is that PWM internships are useless. Is this something I should pursue or a waste of my time?

EDIT: Actually, after reading what I just wrote I see no reason why I shouldn't do this. I didn't have an internship this summer and this is an obvious stepping stone that I need. But feel free to post opinions regardless
