Let me speak to you as someone with some hindsight on this issue. I'm going to be 40 in November. I am in my final weeks of my final class of a Business Management track. On August 19th I will finish school. I started college in 1992. And it has been on-again off-again... for many years. Absolutely no regrets about not going straight through. My only regret is the major I picked. If I had it to do all over again, I would have done Computer Science, and learned how to program. Along the way, I had many opportunities like the one you're being presented with, to work in SF for that company. I took them. It has led to a successful career. I'm currently in Europe for my employer... third such trip. Personally, I think you are making a HUGE mistake in not taking the offer from the company. MASSIVE. A quote attributed to Mark Twain... "Don't let schooling interfere with your education." and I think he was SPOT ON. Your greatest education isn't going to come from the halls of a school/university. It will come from getting your hands dirty (so to speak) in your vocation. And with the right experience, which I'm guessing you'd get at this firm... a degree matters even less and less. I think you should reconsider. Seriously. In any case, it's your decision, and I wish you well. If you have any questions, and want to talk more... feel free to drop me a line. My user at G mail.
