2 Different Internship Options, Which to Choose?

I recently received an offer to intern at a boutique wealth management firm in a major city for the summer. I was given two options as to what my role would be. The first option would be to gain an insurance licence and act in a sales representative attempting to find new clients. The second option would be to act as office support, assisting the partners with their everyday responsibilities. I do have a genuine interest in PWM, but would like to become more attractive candidate to a wide variety of finance positions. Which offer would you take and why?

 

When you say office support, you mean more like an admin or would it involve real investment-related work? The insurance position will pigeonhole you towards that specific field especially if you get the license, but if it's that vs. admin work I'd say insurance. If it's not purely admin work then office support, though sounds like it's mostly filing and scheduling appointments...
