taking up a mangagement position at work or going back to sc
I have recently started working for a WONDERFUL company and within weeks, I have been offered a position as ICM (inventory conrol manager) i would get salary and would have to work more hours, however My family and b/f are promting me to go back to school. since i'm only 19 and i have my entire career life ahead of me. i'm not so sure what school has to offer me since i see alot of my family members College grads without jobs and I live in MICHIGAN and unemployment is up 7%!!!! wouldn't it be a waist of my money to go back to school or a wise investment in my life?the compay i work for is well known for promoting withing the company and career advancement. and i dont know what i would major in if i went back to school.

I agree with a couple other people, me livin in michigan, also...Keep the job, see if company, will pay for to go back to school so many days a week, you know like at itt tech, or diversy. If not theres alot of places you could go, on-line being one of them, but keep the job....Good luck...

Even if you have a job, its up to you to decide whether or not you need something to fall back on. What if 4 to 5 years from now we have a 2nd George Bush(not to offend you if you're on his side). If taxes are raised or company in debt they'll have to cut employees, and we allknow what that means. You have family who have so much confidence in you. You need to find what you want for yourself, not them.
A major in college you should take as a hobby something you love to do, and very comfortable with. I wish you grat and wonderful luck no matter what choice you make

You don't ever know for sure if something will turn out better. If you truly don't know what you care to do, then I would mention to stay at the company. As with any salary job, they do tend to ask more of you. To keep soemthing in mind, some companies as well pay for schooling if it's going to benefit your understanding of something for the company. You may want to check in on that one, if it's an option. If it is, not a big thing to stay there and "use" them to educate yourlself.

why don't you try online courses? You may have many long nights ahead of you but in the end you can do it both. These days education is everything, but who knows where this job could end up? i would say do both.. its going to be tough but better safe than sorry
