Torn between school and internship

I currently have an internship with a company that has me travel very frequently, so I'm never around to see my friends at college. I'm happy to have a job and the opportunity to advance my career, but I'm worried that I'm missing out on some very important times in my life by working.

  2. I will be heading off to college next year, i hope i dont get stuck in that same position haha i would want to see my friends. People say college is one of the best social experiences of your life, im sorry you have to miss a lot of it, maybe it will pay off :)

  3. You're losing sight of your goals. You went to school to get a career. If your internship brings you closer to that career then you need to focus on that. After you get in on a full time gig, go out with some friends and party it up. Someone once suggested to someone that they ought to sell their house in order to buy a condo and go to school; when in reality you go to school > get a job > pay for house, not the other way around.

  4. That is a tough situation, but I think maybe school is the way to go. if the internship doesn't work out, at least you have a degree to fall back on!

  5. You need to find a balance for your life. It's like saying too much school work or hanging out with your friends and family. Find the middle.

  8. if this internship is going to help you with your career, then stick with it. You are very lucking in having this position and can learn valuable information from it.

    But if it's just something you do to pass the time, then you may wanna kick back and stay in college.. but other than getting drunk and getting arrested, you're probably not gonna miss much of college life haha
