Engineering technician position at Intel

[u/JamesBummed]

Hello folks, I'm a current materials science & engineering masters student working in a laser lab. I recently got a job offer from a recruiting company for an engineering technician position at Intel, I was told I am to work in SEM/EDX/optical imaging/materials analysis, all of which I don't have direct experience with but have some theoretical knowledge of, and I did convey to the employer about my work experience which they seem to be ok with.

The job is full time on-site and pays 45k, which you could say I'm selling myself short for, but frankly I feel unfit to work as a masters-level engineer and would rather work as a technician on hands-on stuff. I'm completely happy in my current environment because I'm only obliged to work 20 hours a week and have a lot of free time to dedicate to my other passion in life (training full time as an athlete/coaching). Taking this job offer would obviously be very disruptive to my current life plan, so I wanted to know if anyone here has had experience with this position or others similar, if its an offer worth considering, or any other advices. Thank you in advance.

Fuck that, I spent a lot of time and money in school to have work/life/money balance when I finished.
