Default Would you do this?

Seems nepotism has come to my rescue. My father will be working in New Mexico on some uranium enrichment plant for about 1.5 years beginning in August. He said they are looking for schedulers to also work down there on the project. The schedulers would be in charge of project time management, budgets, etc. Now this isn't what I went to school for, but it would give me another year or so to figure it out while I'm making money in another corner of the United States.

He pretty much said he can guarantee me that job since he's been in the company for 35 years, and he is a very well respected and sought-after project supervisor.

So my question, what would you do if you were offered such a position and made to relocate for a while?

That sounds like a boring job. But right after school...a job is a job.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't know about living with my dad though. It'd be kind of...weird, you know?

Dude... do it! For you to be where you are, and to be able to live in another part of the country, you'd be able to interact with differnent people and would make you much MORE of a person than you alread are.

Seriously. Only positive things can come out of it, because anything BAD would be learned from as a lessons in life. Do it!

Edit: Living with your Dad... Hmmmmm. Weird. Not the best, but it's up to what you allow yourself to think you're gonna get from the experience.

Not exactly sure. I've checked property values down there and found several 2-floor 3 bedroom apartments that were going for ~550/mo. So cost of living is relatively low. I will find out, but anything is better than $0/hour.
