Hi Meteora, in terms of community service, I’m not sure what you question still is … why do you care about community service? If you are majoring in information systems then an internship or co-op job is what you want, not community service. Also, in terms of credits to graduate … if you can only afford to take 6-7 credits a semester, employers may understand that, but if you are getting financial aid, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be full time? If employers have a choice, they want someone that is really good at what they do, that has experience, and that will work well as a team. Sometimes they do prefer the typical 4-year grad because they are young enough to assimilate into the working environment without be stuck in their ways so you don’t want to stretch out your undergrad so long that you are not young and agile once you graduate.
