Accepted a marketing internship offer while considering my career path in data

I recently graduated with a BA in data science last year, but without any internships during college, I've found it challenging to kickstart my career in data or related tech fields. While applying to various jobs, I came across a marketing internship and was fortunate enough to get an interview and receive an offer. I'm relieved to have found something, but I'm feeling conflicted about accepting it. The internship is for six months, and while I believe I would learn valuable skills, I'm concerned about where it would leave me afterward. The company mentioned that if I perform well, they would consider offering me a full-time role. However, I'm unsure if marketing is the right path for me long-term. If I decide that I want to return to pursuing data-related positions after the internship, I fear I might end up back at square one. I'm also contemplating enrolling in a data bootcamp if I choose not to take the offer and continue my job search in data. I'm seeking advice on whether a marketing internship would be beneficial for someone aiming for a career in data, and if the skills I acquire in marketing could lead to other roles, such as product management. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Job title: Marketing Internship
