Job Situation - what would you do?
One of my friends asked for my advice in this situation and I'm not sure what to tell them. It seems like it's a win-win situation...but what do you do?
Two offers that you are entertaining:
1. A job that you would **LOVE** - VERY high profile, federal benefits, two weeks paid vacation, will pay upfront for a PhD (including a full year of being a full time student while getting your regular paycheck), will get you a sweet security clearance, will match what you put into your retirement fund, in a decent location.
2. A job that you would **really like** - flexible schedules, 3 weeks paid vacation, will pay for as many masters degrees as you want (assume you already have one masters degree) - but not a PhD, will get you a decent security clearance (but no federal benifits), will match what you put into your retirement fund (and double it - so it's a 1:2 ratio - what you put in, they'll match and double), in a decent location, not as high profile, pays 10k more starting than job #1.
What would you do?
