Way to go Sid good news breaking on all fronts. I think this internship will be very useful for you. Just like new info helped you realize the good in moving on from the pharmacy work. This experience will add to your insight and be a help in planning how to move forward career wise.
Great job with your school work also, you are making us all proud. Cheers Richard |

Ok I got a packet with the formal offer letter today, they sweetened the pot a bit too...
Aside from the great pay, the apartment, car, phone, and laptop, they will reimburse moving expenses and I have 1k I can use to go home at some point during the internship, or to cover my parents expenses to come see me... I'm so ready for may! |

The last time I heard about a job offer like yours Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino were negotiating on the ledge of a high rise in NY. Seriously, good luck. It can be the experience of a lifetime.

 )...please do not get enticed by $ at the end of your internship and neglect to go back and get your degree. What seems like "really good pay" at 20 years old can be intoxicating, and since I'm sure you will do well, they may very well "dangle that big 'ole carrot" in front of you. I've seen it happen before...remember the "big picture". Not saying that everyone has to have a degree, but it sure makes a lucrative career easier imo.

The only way I would take an employment off right after would be if they were paying for me to finish my school...
Right now my school is paid for, and I'll be able to graduate debt free, I intend to finish fairly quickly when I get home... |

Sidney,
My first major employer started me as an intern in the summer between Junior and Senior year. They kept me on, part time, while I finished my degree. That is the only way you might consider it. I suggest you get college done as quickly as possible. If they want you, they will have a position waiting. Welcome to Houston!

Sid, it sounds like the sign industry has done you good. I guess growing up in the business will help a lot.

Yes Glen the sign industry has done me well. Its funny that these guys are one of the more recent contacts we have made in the industry. I have been going to trade shows since I was very small though. My dad was president of the association here in OK back in '97, so anyone that has been around the association that long remembers me as being a small child. I have gotten a considerable amount of scholarship dollars from the association as well. Its funny that for years I've tried to stay as far away from it as possible, and now I've gone and dove in head first....
