What should I do? Finish school or take a good paying job?
I have a big decision to make whether to finish school or take a well paying job and try and finish school later. Remember we are in recession. I have just finished my 3rd semester towards a Business Degree at Fullerton College. I was going to transfer to CSUF. Here are my two options:
1. Continue school with my part time unstable job at $9/hr with a company that may not make it through this winter. I can get my Business Degree with Information Systems concentration approx June 2013. Then I will be trying to find a job in an economy that could be recovering or could be the same as it is now.
OR
2. Take the job offering now which is driving dump trucks in San Diego which is 100 miles from where I live, but pays about 50k a year. I suppose I could try and take night classes to finish my degree but not sure where or how to do that. Or I could work there for a couple years and bank maybe around $40k and then go back to school. Or try and use the banked money to start a business.
So those are my two options. I have a very small income now and barely make it as long as the company I'm working for remains intact. By the way I'm 26.
