I was planning on a summer community service abroad, but my sister says it’s better to do an internship just because you can have more work experience under your belt.

so if i could choose between an internship @ IBM (first year undergrad) and community service in Brazil, which would you choose?

I’m sorry if this sounds like a “bad” question… I just don’t know if community service is as important in the job market as it was for college admissions…
