I got offered a six figure job today in Tampa. Don't know what to do. School can wait if the job works, right?
When I was job hunting I got all sorts of lovely job offers from loads of game studios, but in the end I took a job unrelated to games because I had previously worked with my boss and he knew what I was worth at the time so kept offering a higher salary to what the game studios were offering.
If you end up on the other side of this job with employable skills that can get you another job for an even higher salary, then I'd say go for it. If it's a load of cash without you actually gaining anything else from it, then maybe stick to school.
6 figure salary is a lot (if you are there for a full year), you may find that on the other end you'll be comfortable enough financially to return to school without sacrificing your lifestyle.[/quote]
That is what I was worried about. I think I'll gain some skills from it, nothing crazy really. It's video capture from remote sources to be streamed over a 4G network, packet replay and other things of that nature.
It's far away from cybersecurity or game design...but you're right. Hell, if I can do 3 to 4 years of that, I'd be set...
