Welll it's a tought desicsion. How much is this place paying? If it's real good money, like 50k or so then you should maybe go for it and take a break from school. But you'd have to force yourself to go back to school after like a couple of years and that could be very hard since you'd be too tempted to stay.

however, if not, then you should stick with school.

for those of you with an associates degree, did you finish your bachelor's afterwards? how different is it going that route as opposed to straight 4 years of undergrad? i am considering working full-time instead of finishing college or i might switch to getting a associates degree or a IT tech degree instead. any advice for someone else who is considering this. i also hate school. school seems like such a waste of time and money. i also believe i am not learning anything at all. basically this entire semester has been a recap of some of my high school classes. i know...what the heck. i really hate not learning anything. i learned so much more on the job at summer employment as opposed to 1.5 years of college. in one summer i learned enough for me to survive in the corporate world.

while i'm at it...anyone in the chicago-land area that knows of any place that are looking for an intern in the tech/hardware dept?
