Hello fellow IT members,
Last time I posted on this sub, I was expressing some frustrations I had about being rejected from a very prestigious internship, and how to move on. To those of you who gave me advice, I followed that advice and was able to land an internship last Fall that I feel was way better than the one I had been rejected from, and I thank all of you for that advice. What did I get out of this internship? A Full-time job offer before I finished my degree. But, that's where my problem begins. I have four classes left, one Gen Ed, two major requirements, and a senior project. The workload on the major requirement classes is about double that of a standard class. I have accepted the job offer as it was too good to pass up, and now I'm in the predicament where I fear balancing my school work and being a FTE will be too difficult and cause a high degree of stress from June-December, and cause me to sacrifice both my grades and my sanity. I've been able to work as an intern an do school on account of having a flexible work schedule, and some luck that forced professors to cut the coursework load due to learning resources not being available on time. My new plan would have me taking one class this summer, two in the fall, and my senior project in the spring. I know some of you might tell my that it looks like I've made up my mind, but I'd like to get some outside input.
Tldr: Have a full-time job offer and consider delaying my graduation to reduce the stress of balancing school and work.
