Job bummer

tamara_russoI had a job interview on Tuesday, and I got a call an hour ago saying I got the job if I wanted it.
Pros:
It's in Holon, walking distance. I can leave home at 7:30 and be early. I'll be home everyday by 17:30.
It'll pay more than I make now (not much, but still).
I can leave the Meir saga behind me.
NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. I can't believe how that has become an issue.
I don't see anything else in the horizon.
Cons:
Boring job, repetitive job.
Small work place - again, with nowhere to go (not up, only out).
And the biggest con, and probably a deal breaker, is that it's not career wise to take this job now. It'll give me zero experience in actual engineering (I still can't believe they agreed to my salary request) and I won't be able to rely on this for future job experience.
Why can't I have a normal job in Holon? Or Tel Aviv?
*grumble*
