Structured Products Career Mobility/Exit Options

Hey all, I recently received an offer to be an analyst for a structured products group (ABS, CLO's, etc.) upon undergrad graduation. I interned with them this past summer and found the work really interesting and that I jived well with the team's personalities. My one concern/question is the career mobility of working in structured products since it seems to be a very niche area and I don't want to limit myself in terms of future career opportunities. Most of the team I had been in structured products their entire career or switched into SP from a different industry. Can anyone shed some light on likelihood of moving into other fields such as PE, hedge funds, or even M&A from SP? Also if I chose to get an MBA a few years later would I be able to "reinvent" myself so to speak to be able to switch into these other fields?

Thanks!
