To accept the apprentice job at PetCo?

So I am being offered this job at Petco as a Grooming apprentice were they train to become a Groomer (pet stylist) but there is a 1yr commitment. I like the idea of learning this skills and theya are still paying me back for work which I believe is around $10/hr. I can do a lot higher salary than that at another job because I'm very tech-savvy, type over 60 wpm, certified in AED CPR and other fields but they are training me at the same thing so I like the idea of working with animals. My drawback for this is the 1yr commitment because I was planning on traveling the world for a couple of months at least and maybe studying to get my bachelors. The other drawback is that it seems that it will be a lot of days working there, it sounds like they want me there 6 days a week. I'm the kind of person who likes to have flexibility in my schedule and feel free. I know the pros is that I will earn a lot of pay probably due to the hours, I'll have a new skill which I can then do on my own and earn around $40+ on each pet I groom but a year is a lot. I want to do something cool with my life and I have this dilemma.
