<p>I’ was offered free tuition (for 3 terms) fall-spring… If I become an editor for the school literary publication (it is only 2 hours a week of work).</p>
<p>However, it also requires a year of commitment… I can work it out so I can graduate in 6 or 9 months, but if I accept the offer, I’ll have to stick around for 12 or 15 months, and take a bunch of classes which I don’t need to graduate. (which will be free, minus books). I already have tons of electives.</p>
<p>I worked it out and because of the extra cost to live here (Rent, food), accepting or not accepting it are about equal financially . (not considering any financial aid I might receive).</p>
<p>Does it sound like I should accept it?</p>
<p>If it is something you would enjoy or that is related to your major, and would therefore possibly look good on a resume then I would say yes. If it is not something you really have an interest in then I don’t see much benefit.</p>
<p>Can you get a double major in something useful? Can you start working on a Graduate degree?</p>
<p>I also think you need to define the problem a little more. It seems like you have 3 regular terms during the school year, plus summer. It seems like they want you to work the Fall 2009, Winter 2010, and Spring 2010 terms. Are you saying you can graduate by the end of the Fall 2009 term? Are you planning to take classes in the Summer 2009 term to graduate after Fall 2009? If you get the job can you skip the Summer 2009 Term and get a Summer job instead? How certain is it that you can graduate after Fall 2009?</p>
<p>Do you have to take classes in Spring 2010, or just be the editor? Maybe you can use that time to look for jobs while being the editor.</p>
