The job I really want is a Technical Support Person with regular work hours..all I have to do is review the manuals HR gave me and let them know by Monday...although I'm familiar with the product...I'd have to learn some electric and wiring set up...not to do it but to troubleshoot if someone called which would be set up like a procedural system...I'm figuring you should be able to learn most anything in 3 months...(my trial period)
The other job...well....I already know I can do it...Store Management....the hiring manager called back with a counter offer even after I'd given the courtesy call to refuse their offer...to be honest I've already given them their answer....I want normal working hours, I do not want a job to become my life ever again...and this being a new business venture...what happens if this man decides to bail.........Am I obligated to talk with this man....Haven't I shown professional courtesy?????

Go for the Tech Support position. It sounds like an opportunity for you to learn new skills. Besides, the position is in a growth area for the future. If, after your trial period, you decide you don't like this line of work, you can always go back to store management. I'm sure there will be stores hiring if you decide to return to this career.
Good luck!

As long as you've answered the store back in a civilized polite manner, you should not feel guilty about leaving for what you would consider a better business opportunity. However, make sure the company knows this as if this new venture doesn't work out, you want to be able to have something to fall back on.
Good luck with your pursuit.

It sounds like you've already decided on the first job you mention. If would be courteious to call the hiring manager of the second job or send him a note thanking him for the opportunity, but telling him you've decided to accept a different job offer that you have.

Sounds like, you prefer the technical support.
Just tell the other job that you already give your word to the tech job. Tell them that it is not about the salary, you are also thinking for your career path and the other one suits better on what you are really looking for. Do not forget to commend them on their interest to you and you appreciate it very well.
