It involves everything with my life, amazingly so. I will try to make this short, but how can I when it involves so much. I'm going to college. My girlfriend goes here too. She lives here and will be here for another ~2 years. My roomate wants me to do Plan A because it's the right thing to do. I'm stuck between A and B. A is the right thing to do and will take more time. B will get me out of college faster. Both will allow me to see my gf, but if I do B I'd be out of college faster and might not see her as much after.
Plan A:
My current schedule puts me at graduating in 3 semesters from now (I still have Fall 2004, Spring 2005, and Fall 2005). I'd take about 12 credits a semester. I would take a real internship between that Spring 2005 and Fall 2005 (the summer), which I have YET to get... and may never get.
Plan B:
However, I redid my classes / schedule and if I take 2 classes this summer (1 of which will be with my girlfriend as it's a political science class), 16 credits Fall 2004 and 15 in Spring 2005, I don't have to go to college that Fall 2005 (like Plan A) if I do this, however I would be kind of faking my internship by working for a company I already worked for. I would work there part time for Fall 2004/Spring 2005 instead of getting a real internship during Summer 2005 like Plan A. I could always take a real internship at a later date, such as that summer but I would already technically be graduated. Some companies only look for people for internships that are IN school, right? That's what I've been seeing.
That's the catch right there. Do you think it's wrong for me to go back to a previous employer, which they're allowing because I'm good friends with the boss, and have them almost "lie" saying I did things differently than to when I was there previously (Plan B)?
Example:
Worked at Company Name - 4 years as a Tech
Then worked at Company Name - 1 years Internship as an Assistant Systems Administrator, when in reality I worked there as an Assistant Systems Admin all of those years.
I mean, if I do this, I'll be able to graduate faster since I could take courses this summer (Plan B). I'm not sure if will look bad on a resume or not to have my internship be done with a company I've already technically worked for. I also would only have time under Plan B to only work there 1 day on the weekend, so it would be barely even part time. But technically it fulfulls the internship requirement.
I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. I want to graduate early, I want to do the right thing, and I want to see my girlfriend... I hate all these choices.
