chip--tho i'm just a pup in this world, one of my professors told a couple of
us something that i think is pretty accurate. we were offered jobs with a
high-paying consulting firm with a month still left in school. of course it
felt, at that time, that if we didn't take the job, there would never be
another one offered. well, the way dr. shaw put it was 'if you're this
attractive to employers now, you won't be any less so a month from now.' and
he was right--we finished up and everyone was offered jobs that made that
initial offer look like peanuts. i wouldn't worry too much. i guess these
big life decisions are what build character. as will the trail.
