Oh man, I overslept. Must have NOT partied hard enough.

Let's see...
Hey boss, I bumped into your old nemesis last week. He remembered me from when I was job hunting and asked how I was doing. I told him I was doing great at pre-pharmacy, applying for pharmacy school, and working for you. He said that sounded great and offered me a full time tech job with better hours and $2.00/hour more than I am getting now. For a hungry college kid, it sure sounds tempting. See what he says.

A future option I did not see in your scenarios is what happened to my nephew in a similar situation, only he was working in a funeral home instead of a pharmacy. He stayed with the guy, because good friends, and in a few years ended up owning the funeral home in Rolla. Oh yeah, he was originally planing to be a pharmacist.
