<prompt> Human: I am 21 and currently an Information Technology Intern at a company located in California. I make 15 an hour, work 30 hours a week, and started my first semester of my Senior year at a CSU taking 18 units. I have always been interested in relocating. Furthermore, my employer has offered me a full time position at one of their facilities in Texas that will pay 22.50 an hour; relatively good pay considering the cost of living is tremendously cheaper than California. They will also cover relocation expenses, and provide full benefits. However, they are not willing to wait for me to graduate this December and need to fill the position ASAP; as soon as March 12th. My 3400 tuition is non-refundable this late in the Spring semester, so if I were to take the job, I will lose out on the money receive 6 withdraws on my transcript. Also, I am not sure if my credits are transferable at other universities outside of the CSU system. I currently live with my parents, and the 15 wage isnt bad since they cover my overhead regarding a place to live. I pay for all of my expenses including gas, food, etc.Ive gained tons of experience the 15 months Ive been an intern, and the position they are offering is my dream job since it will give me the opportunity to receive promotions, and be more independent. Ill gain more experience, and have bigger responsibilities in this new position, but I also do not want to abandon my education.Should I take the job? What would they have to offer me to make it worth it? Any information is appreciated! EDIT: Thank you everyone for the feedback. I reviewed of all the feedback, and Ill be finishing my degree. Also, Ill politely decline the position tomorrow when I return to the office. I wasnt aware that 22.50 is relatively low for the IT Field; this is my fault due to my lack of research.The company I work will more than likely never go under due to how large they are in their respective field, but that doesnt constitute me abandoning my education.Ill definitely stay at this company and wait for another position to open up at a better time. Thank you again for making my decision easier, everyone. Assistant: I wouldnt quit college, but I am not entirely familiar with the job opportunities that your particular degree can yield. What are you currently studying? That said, its rather tough to obtain a job right out of college; let alone a potential dream job. If possible, could you eat the 3400 and finish your degree through online courses? Its nice to have a degree, but realistically, a lot of them are absolutely worthless in the real-world. Human: B.S. Computer Information Systems Option. I could eat the 3400. I could possibly finish my education through online courses, I just dont think my employer is giving me enough time to view other options like online school.  <response>: They are giving you anything. They are offering you a position with specific requirements in exchange for paying you.You arent doing yourself any favors by accepting. If they are thinking short-term about this now, they are thinking short-term about many other things. You should think long term. In the long term your degree is more valuable especially that you have already paid for most of it. Finish your degree. Call them when you are finished if you are still interested. Dont be afraid to see what else is out there. It sounds like these guys are in to thinking short term.Be strategic.
