sounds like a good option... it may be a big change, but that would be a temporary change, right (within a year you'd switch again anyways)? Sometimes unexpected change can be good too.
best of luck!
I'm hoping the experience will make me more employable, so I can stay in this area. I like it here. Lots of good places to go climbing.
I've had quite a bit of job upheaval myself since 2002. If I had my druthers I never would have left making custom, in-house software to support biotech research/projects, but have had to mostly step out of that area. Every change has benefited me. I too, would rather change job areas than leave this area. :-)
