If you can go to school for the satellite job and also be able to interview
for the other, then that would be the best option.

These companies have no problem laying people off to make more money
(greed), to cut their health care (greed), etc. They have no conscience
lately when it comes to you!

(I would not have said that 30 years ago when companies were loyal to their
employees.)

If you would lose the satellite job by going to the interview for the other
job, then you would have a decision to make. One or the other. And you could
wind up with nothing! Life is not always easy...
