u2slow, I would advise you to go for it. I can tell that you are young or they would not have offered the job. When you get older these chances will not be there. If the job is to manufacture the equipment there will already be more experienced people that know what they are doing, giving you the chance to start at the bottom and work your way up ( learn as you go type of thing). You can always go back to remodeling but your chances at this type of work wont be around forever. The higher your skill level the more job security for the future. If the company has made an investment in you they are not so quick to replace you with some one off the street.
