So my questions are,

  • do you guys think I should take the part time position and work during my last 2 semesters?
  • how much pay is fair to ask for, considering I get paid 20/hr currently, and they are super impressed with my work and really want me to continue to work there?

fair pay depends on where you live

#

no clue how to speculate if 20 an hour is a lot or a little given the info you gave, unless i missed something

#

ah

#

i mean is 20 an hour good money there

#

i have no clue

old bay
#

min wage is 15

vale basin
#

i mean

#

that wasnt really my question, is it good money to you

#

is more what im asking

old bay
#

ah, just thought you wanted a reference point

vale basin
#

i hear ya

old bay
#

20 is decent for me, it's my first job p much

vale basin
#

cool

#

i mean i guess it depends on a few more factors but if youre fine with it thats fine, you can ask for more if you'd like, do some research on the subject and figure it out

#

to answer your first question though really depends on what you care about

#

i love money, and love to be rich

#

so i worked 2 jobs during most of school for that sole reason

#

some people have different goals though, i would take the job personally

old bay
#

yea, the reason I grinded for 4.0 is to secure a good internship, and now that I have one PLUS a potential full time position after I graduate, i dont think its so important anymore to focus on the grades

#

i think I can handle it plus it's preparing for my future

vale basin
#

yeah up to you

#

GPA never mattered to me personally

#

i just wanted to be rich

#

but you can see how its dependant on the person and their goals

old bay
#

even if I get a few non-A grades i will still have a super high GPA so i don't think i should worry

vale basin
#

objetively more experience is good, so if you take the internship for that long you will have a solid resume

old bay
#

yea exactly

#

I'm thinking to ask for 25/hr if I move to part time

#

now that they see my skills

vale basin
#

i can get behind that

#

makes sense to me

old bay
#

I just get conflicted on these things because I've always focused on school first

#

if I have to commit to something else I get all screwed up lol

#

well, thank you for the advice, ill go for the part time position

#
