I got an offer as a life insurance sales-intern for New York Life. Payment is 100% commission, but the earnings potential is above most other internship opportunities. Given that I would be selling financial packages, would this job be a great benefit to my career portfolio? I would like to work as a financial analyst after I finish my education.

No it won't be, it's looked at the same as selling vacuums or knives. Also, I'd be shocked if you earned more than most interns.
Thanks. Being a student, looking up at everything, I feel like I'm vulnerable to swindlers. Noted. I'll continue the job search.
Not really beyond just something like you know how to build relationships with clients and that your clients can trust you.
Everyone knows by "selling insurance" you mean those pyramid schemes they advertise on the Craglist job boards.... do you really want to be associated with that sort of job???
I would upvote this but fker wso blocked me
I did a similar internship and it was extremely valuable. I got to meet with a 100 different people (some very successful). You'll gain some financial knowledge but mostly sales and the relationship side. If you're looking into analyst position it might not be the best.
Why wouldn't it be the best? Would there not be much exposure to the analytic side?
