Worried I will not have any lateral options after a Wealth and Investment Management Internship?

I have a Wealth and Investment Management internship position (junior) with a BB this coming summer. I was happy to the get the internship cause it will be good to have a name brand on the resume, but I don't know if I want to do advising/PWM in the long run. I was hoping I could end up doing AM rather than PWM, or even rotating to IB/PE. I was just wondering if taking the Wealth and Investment Management internship has solidified my path down the PWM route? How difficult will it be to market myself to other positions like AM/IB/PE? If it is still possible to make the switch, what are the best ways I should approach making the switch?
