What to choose: DMA/FIX Testing Career or Random?

[kxesporlas]

Hi. I need help in making my decision. I'm working as a tester currently in an investment banking, right now on some compliance projects. My boss gave me 2 projects to choose from this coming June which are:

1. DMA/FIX Testing - i was informed that this offers a great career path since there are only few testers in the world - bigger pay in the future as well - they say. THe knowledge that I will gain here cannot be learned through self study - unlike item 2 (see below).

2. Ad hoc Testing - the project here requires overseas training, to Sydney, for 2 months and it has been my dream to really go there! The specifics of the project are quite interesting - credit card application, online banking, accounts management, etc.

Any comments on the options I have? Thanks much!
