content: I have an opportunity to maybe better myself. ...or I could fall bad. I would need to go from fixing thing's (that I am good at) to scheduling things and dealing with vendors. The biggest thing is that i don't really like people. I realize that I don't need to but....I am very good at what I do now. Do I stay or do I go. I would like a global opinion. I'll let you know how it goes. .

content: 1) Can you explain why you see this move as a betterment? Maybe putting that into words will help you with your decision.2) I think that only you know how well you can deal with people you don't particularly get along with but must work with. You can safely ignore other people's opinions on this.3) When you read comments about the importance of money, look at the flags under the user names and remember that some people don't have to pay for their children's higher education out of their own pocket.4) It's not getting into new jobs that's caused problems for me, it's been staying at workplaces for too long.

content: 1. I don't know that it's a better. Simply different.2. I just don't really like people anymore. ..I'm old . i ignor all people. ....Cept you folks.3. Money is not the issue. Might be more might not. I make enough now [don't tell them that].4. Been here way to long. I guess thats why a change is appealing.

content: Quote from: Biff383 on July 16, 2014, 06:14:23 pmWill the new position pay better or open career advancement? If so, I would give it a try. It will expand your horizons and possibly you will find that you are good at it and even like it. You can always return to doing what you are doing now. If you will stay in your current job you will always have the 'what if?' at the back of your mind.That's my 2c for personal experience (I had several incursions to paper pushing and hand waving positions that actually went well and were rewarding).

content: What do you mean you don't like people? I have worked with a number of emotional misfits in electronics over the years who are not easy to like - you have to tolerate them, get rid of them or find another job. Arrogant, rude and egotistical detractors, especially ex-military personnel. Fortunately though most electronics people are pretty decent.By the sounds, stick with the technical side. If it is money you are after, you are moving to the new job for the wrong reason.
