If you have the commitment to work really hard, take it.
If you can get them to pay for your college, take it.
Think about putting as much as you can into retirement funds, by doing so so early in your life, you can do real good.

If the job is going to be a pain in the neck, forget it.
If they will accomidate you taking classes, think real hard about taking it. It sounds like it may be a very good opportunity.
I guess it really depends on the people you will be working with and how much you could enjoy the job.

Good Luck on your decision.

trust me - it gets harder to go back to school later on.

finish school now, get your degree - the job - or one better will be there when you're done

it should be an alright job. pretty easy. it is an Internet Accounts Administrator. responsible for signing up new commercial accounts, billing, some tech support for them (what i am doing now at both jobs) and i will be able to "shadow" our net admin sometimes. when i get my BS i want to be a net admin.

Take the job and finish school.I wish I had gone to college when I was younger. Now I'm stuck driving a truck for the rest of my life. I tried going back a couple years ago to Devry. But, my nemisis math would not let me be. Finish school and take the job.
