Help desk job for 95k?

So I got a recent job offer for a help desk job for an agency as a GS-13. I am a sys ADM right now as a 12 and am bored out of my mind so I am actually considering it. I live in a low cost area so that's a pretty good raise, but I have never had a help desk job. Only sys ADM and security.

I like tinkering with a lot of different technologies so I think I might actually like the job. There are about five help desk guys for about 250 workers at the job.

Right now I do a lot of C&A and policy work which I hate so I think this would be refreshing, but I am a little unsure.

Any insight?

Not nessesarily, it depends on the area. in high COL areas there are no lower GS' because you cant pay someone pennies even for entry level work.

Kind of off track, but I was very surprised to find out that there are fewer InfoSec GS-9s than there are GS-11s, and more GS-12s than GS-9s. The ladder at my agency tapers below and above GS-11.
