Financial Analyst or Investment Specialist?

[Jon]

I am currently a financial analyst for a large public corporation, have been working there for 8 months. I just received an offer equal to what I make now 2 hours away as an investment specialist for a small private asset management company. I am happy w/ my current job, although some of the work I do is too monotonous. I don't know if I want to start a learning curve all over again, it seems like a big risk and if I don't like the job then it was a major mistake. Anyone work in asset management and can tell me what the hours are like, what you do primarily, and if the work is exciting? Also, any advice as to what you think would be best for my career and more importantly, quality of life. Not 100% sure what I want to do the rest of my life, I am only 24. Thanks
