hi wiz,

you've gotten great suggestions.
as ann landers would say "are you further to than further from?"
i'd hate to see you give up school when you've worked so hard and long.
getting a masters is a very big deal.

if you could prolong school so you could do both that sounds good.
my niece is 22 and just did the same thing in order to get enuf good grades to graduate.

if both school and work would meet you half way that sounds ideal.
thinking of work credits is a very valid thought. you will be glad to have as many credits as possible when the time comes.

please let us know what you decide.
best of luck.
