Put your life on hold?

would you take a fun traveling job that pays more but would not take you closer towards any of your personal/life goals (eg citylife, masters, career ambitions, wife, etc). Essentially it would put your life on hold and build up your bank account in another state for a year

Money has never been as important to me as friends and family. I would not suggest leaving your family for a year to just make money.

However, if you're young and haven't really established a home life yet, i.e. don't have a wife or are in a serious relationship -- then travel now for the experience. It will enrich your later life so much more.

If I was 23 and single, I probably would. If I was 40 and/or had a family, probably not.

it depends on how long?
My sister put her life on hold and went to Columbia, South America for a year.
Take the opportunity while you are still young. Something good is about to happen. You were offered this for a reason.
