GWM after SA position?

I'm currently a rising junior (ie, graduating 2013) working as a summer analyst at a boutique TMT shop. My internship ends in August, so I'm looking for paid part-time work in the fall while I'm back at school. I've got an opportunity to work at Morgan Stanley GWM, but I'm concerned that come recruiting season, I'll be stuck trying to explain why I took a job in wealth management after I've already done an actual I-banking internship.

To me, money is money, the job won't be too stressful, hours are flexible, etc. But I don't know if recruiters will see it that way. Thoughts?

 

My first though is don't include it on your work experience section of your resume? but otherwise you could spin it in such a way that goes something like this..."i really liked my I-Banking experience but in the interest of making a completely informed decision regarding my career path I found this as an excellent opportunity to try another area of finance, after my experience in pwm I am certain that I want to enter I-banking as a career and that is why I am pursing this internship/FT position" done. explained away.
