Database vs Networking Career

I am currently interning on a Database Administration team at a Fortune 500 company. I was primarily focused on networking in college, with some cybersecurity. They did not have any openings in the Networking team, so they offered me a position on the DBA team, which I took as it would be beneficial for my resume anyway. The team has taken a liking to me, and the manager stated that they can vouch for me after the program ends (the company has a high % of intern retention).

That being said, being a DBA was never my intention from the get-go. I always wanted to do something more network-oriented. Which is a better niche of IT to chase for my future in IT in terms of working remotely, work-life balance, and pay ceilings? I can try to ask if I can be moved to a networking team, but I feel like I'd be just betraying my manager and my team's efforts in training me to be a part of their team.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. (If it helps, I have around 2 years of level 1-2 help desk experience as well)
