I really wish I had done an internship at an agency. I'm in non-profit now and wish I had more intense experience.

A kind of funny story on those companies: I had a college friend who went for an interview with a company in the Boston area. It advertised itself as a marketing and communications firm, and talked about having big corporate clients, including some pro sports teams in the area. He went for the 1st interview and was told he did well, and he was asked back for a 2nd interview. They told him to reserve the whole day, which seemed a bit strange.
When he got to the company, he was told he was going on a job shadowing run with one of the associates. It turned out they were selling copy paper door to door, in some not-so-nice sections of a neighboring city. About halfway through the day he said that he wasn't interested in the job anymore; the guy he was with told him that he couldn't drive him back to the office, and essentially left him in the middle of the city to catch a cab back to Boston. The friend ended up calling me, I looked up a phone number for a cab company for him, and he ended up with a big cab bill.
He didn't find it so funny at the time, but now it's become a pretty funny story, a few years later.
