Here's another vote for doing both interviews as unbiased as possible, and make up your mind afterward if you'd be so lucky that you get both jobs.

That was my thought at the start. The old thing is turn down one for the other and the other is not offered was a fear. I think do the best for both and hope!

Same situation here.. Some years back I applied at a company, and had to go through 4 interviews, and a test, and I didn't even get it! and it wasn't even a very good job! Nerve wracking, and I am searching again and not looking forward to the process.. Best thing is to just go, be yourself, relax, be open minded, try to get a sense of the work environment, the people, try your best and hope for a good outcome.. good luck!

I would be a little cautious about the one where they're going to train you. Someone I know got a job like that only they didn't tell him that the previous guy left under a cloud and left an angry customer behind. He was left with the stress of trying to learn something he didn't know and placate the customer at the same time. Needless to say he's not going to stay there long.

Didn't think of that...Hmmm

As others have advised, I always tell people in this situation that, unless you really don't mind if you get neither, approach both like they're the job for you.
Worst case - you end up getting neither.
Best case - you are offered both.
If you get offered both you can make a better informed decision which then includes more knowledge (like what the wonga actually is, and if the boss seems like an arse)
If the timing is right, I have in the past ended up with companies haggling over my services! Ended up doubling my current salary and they threw in a company car  And that was for the company I really wanted to work for anyway!
As for the middle of nowhere - can be great if the commute is good. I've worked (and am working now) in a small village in the sticks - it's a nice environment, much more relaxed than the city.
As for the training - it depends what the training is on. If it's VB6 then run. Don't look back. Just run. if it's on something that interests you and might be useful in the future, then it's worth a lot.
Finally (I do rabbit on, don't I?) do not let either prospective employer know you have another interview or offer until you have an offer in writing.

It's a terrible, terrible film.
That is very, very funny at times.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I shall have to order a copy of that!
Johnny Vegas is an incredible comedian; he either has you in fits of laughter or leaves you wondering WTF he's going on about, because his mind flies off in directions that I imagine even he doesn't anticipate.
It's like Les Dawson on the piano, though -- to do something badly well, you have to be able to do it well, first.

Don't pay a lot: I found it embarrassing rather than funny. And very badly acted.
I got the feeling that it was really a 70's Pr0n film, but without the Pr0n...
