Go get a bachelor's degree.  You have the rest of your life to work.. with a bachelor's degree at least you can do something you want to do, and for good pay.\n\nMy 2cents

I would go for the tests. A degree is more important than your present job, as it will open up more opportunities.

Well, there is the FAFSA, it'll tell you if you qualify for some grants, and loans, and scholarships (be prepared to write a lot of essays)...but really, you need a job (or two). This summer, I'm working full-time in a professional office, going to summer school, and working in a coffee shop on the weekends. (I find that having a 9-to-5 job frees up my nights and weekends for a second occupation, when needed.) It's not gonna be easy and it's not gonna be fun when you want to go on road trips with everyone else, but it's definitely worth it!

Lucky you.  If you're planning on staying in school, though, I'd recommend you worry less about pay and more about flexible work hours and not getting overworked (20 hours a week is enough, if not too much).  A lot of folks ruin their college experience and finish without being able to think as well as they should because they jump into a job too soon.

If your financial aid will pay for food, rent, utilities, gas, and entertainment, then by all means...STUDY!  If you find that you don't have enough money for the entertainment, get a job on campus or somewhere like a library or a receptionist....something where you can study on the job and you only have to work 10-15 hours a week.   I went to school and worked full time for the last 3 yrs of my education and I went from dean's list to "d" for diploma, ya dig?  Take it easy, enjoy your education and the people you meet.  Take care and good luck!

In the long run, school. It will allow you to have one job that will most likely pay more than both of the others. If you need to take a semester or year off for your sanity, by all means, do so. Just be sure to go back and finish your degree afterwards.

If you are refering to job opportunities; it is too early.\nif you are referring to higher studies; it depends on the marks or the money you got.\n\nMy advice will be, explore what you really want to do; where your real strengths are and then decide yourself and do not take any advice ;-)

The final test is and obviously should be important, but it shouldn't be the ONLY thing your graduation depends on.  Your year's worth of work should also count for something.  Even though your test results generally reflect your general level of work, there are some people who may be good students in general but not good test takers, and that system is not fair for them.

Have you graduated High School? Do you have a job? Do you\nhave solid plans? Will your life be better if you move?\nAsk yourself a lot of questions. It is not easy to get by\nthese days. Even with a good job things come up that cost\na fortune. Just make sure you know what you are doing.\nGood luck what ever you decide.

It really depends on the reasons why you are working. If you have to provide for yourself for lunch money,gas,other needs then you really have no other choice and need to do what you have to. But maybe you should concentrate more on your studies when you get off work. split it up between the time you have after school until you go to work and the time you have after work. I worked in high school and had alot of extra curriculars and thats what I did. Mind you I wasn't an honor roll student but I had to work. So it can be done. Good luck!!

Why not go to school full time and live on grants on loans until you complete your education.  This way when you find a decent job after graduating, you'll still live on "just enough" to get by (after loan payments) but at least you'll have a college degree and earnings potential.

Take alittle time and rest your mind, body and soul.  Otherwise you are going to get burned out. Congrats on you graduating.

Everybody gets burned out whether your in college or on the job. I just want you to know how proud I am of you. These next 2 years are going to fly. Enjoy it while you can. Set daily goals and give yourself a break once in a while. You'll get through it. I was the same way when I was in college. I am so glad I stuck it out. I have a really good job and a wonderful home to come home to. Think of your future and what your education will give you.

I have a Bachelor degree and am going for my Masters after having taken a 3 year break.  For years I wondered if it had been worth the time and money I spent on college, since I was unable to find a job related to my field.  Now I realize that it was well worth it.  with regard to jobs, I made the mistake of not going for an internship while I was in school.  You're right, colleges don't prepare students for the job market.  On the other hand, although my brother has a better job than me even though he only has a G.E.D. (he's also much more ambitious than me), he has been unable to move up to the managerial position because he never went to college.  The college experience offers you a whole new way of looking at things...you can't get that view merely with experience.  As for the Ivy League schools, the name may make somewhat of a difference, but the education is not all that much better.  Another plus of going to college is that some careers require a degree and even if your career doesn't, you may change your mind later (like I did) and if you already have a Bachelors and your career requires a Masters you won't have to start from scratch.

You should be looking into interning while your finishing up your last classes in college.  That way when you graduate you will already have on the job experience to go along with your degree.

I would highly recommend that you work for a few years before pursuing a graduate degree like an MBA.  You'll get a much better feel for the areas in which you'd like to work, plus the real world experience is invaluable when you're studying theory in school.  In the financial areas, such as investment and banking, an MBA would be almost mandatory to obtain a good career position.
