I will start work with this job next year.

Im kinda ignoring the other job right now..I know its bad...:(

So the job is hiring you in 10 months? Pardon me, but something sounds...interesting about this.
Intern -> Graduate -> work.

Not sure what he does, but there are companies that do this and it is legit. In fields like nursing, they will even pick up that tab of school for a contract to work when school is complete (better complete and pass or some serious issues to resolve).

Happens a lot in the tech industries too. I knew people who already had jobs lined post graduation after they did their first summer internship, granted that's really rare. Most people I know got a job offer at the start of the semester before they graduated.

I know all about the semester before you graduate offers.

What strikes me as odd is this guy is getting his offer held for 10 months when he's in his final year, including over the summer.

What if he's not graduating until the fall?

That's the only way it makes any sense to me, so I'm hoping he'll clear it up.
