Hello, this is my first real post. I have an opportunity to go into management at the fast food place I currently work. The only real reason I would go into management is to learn about management. Do you think this would be worth it? Are management skills valuable for every type of business? (I would prefer to start an online business.) If I should go into management to learn about it, how long? Working as a fast food manager even for a few months is something I don't want to do unless it's very useful. (I know, me me me, but I'm getting tired of that greasy, boring place...) Would it be good to try becoming a manager somewhere else?

Thanks for your help, I'm looking forward to spending time on this forum!
