| I'm not very good at taking risks. The situation is this: I am three months away from having a degree in architecture. The firm I interned for last summer has offered me a full-time position upon graduation. It was not a particularly good job last summer, and the money will probably not be teriffic (although, for the first couple of years after graduation, my financial expectations are rather low). The trouble is, they want an answer very soon (in the next two weeks or so). So, do I take the job that is in my field, but that I'm not very excited about, or do I turn it down and go out looking for something a little more interesting? The job placement rate in my program is actually pretty good, but sometimes it takes six months or so, and I have student loans to pay off. Pros, cons and anecdotes are all appreciated. I'm leaning toward taking the job, and then starting to look for something better a few months in, but I worry I'll get comfortable and just stay put. What do you think? |
