What would be your experience, if you don't mind me asking? Because the amount of experience may not be enough.

Shadowing, following, listening, taking notes - that's not taking a back seat. That's, well, learning. That's usually what people do before they go into such careers as these. It'd be good to get a feel of the people, how this system works, how things are taken care of, before you decide to take everything head on. You may have experience on your Earth, but this place is a whole new ball game. For you, and for me.

[sigh] Most of my reasons aside, I just think you may be biting off more than you can shew. [No, not really 'may', it IS to him haha.]
