<prompt> Human: I have graduated from university with a Masters degree and recently accepted a well-paid job in a position mildly related to my field of study. I found out yesterday that I have been accepted onto a year long graduate scheme at a company which is in the top 10 ranked companies worldwide my field. This graduate scheme would allow me to travel all over the world and train me in my chosen field -This program only accepts 10 people from around the world each year. After the scheme, the idea is that they offer you a job, but there is no guarantee. Though they say most of their graduates get offered a job. Right now I live at home with my parents, so no rent or bills. I think it is safe to say I will be less financially well off if I go on the graduate scheme rentbillsfoodliving, but it seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity. So my question is, which do I go with? The secure job at home which will provide more money, or the graduate scheme with less money and less job security after a year but a once in a lifetime opportunity? How important is job security and money at my age 23? I think my current job is fine, but the graduate scheme will provide better career opportunities in the long run if I even get offered a job after the scheme.I am tearing my hair out over this decision and any advice from anyone would be great.  <response>: Id say take it.Maybe look at it like more school? If they dont offer you a job at the end of it, then it was just a like co-op or internship. More resume padding for the next job you apply for.
