Scott just a thought, If you are leaving a place you are not crazy about looking now) and going to a better paying place that will put you directly into training it seems to me that even if you did not like it after say a year you would now be a better trained tech (more valuable) as well as then higher paid (may demand yet better $ when you move). Nothing is fool proof but seems like a good opportunity to me other than maybe a longer drive time (but you drive a miata so no biggy). Just my .02 though
