If you're not through with school and an opportunity like this has already appeared.....STAY IN SCHOOL! Just think about what is real.....the job can get taken away....the education can't.

You can totally do both if it is something that you want bad enough. I work full-time and I go to school full-time. You may not be given a job opportunity like this again. Or you may not have the will to go back to school.
Take one or two classes at a time. It may take longer than you anticipated but you will get it done. Some companies will help you with school after you have been with them for sometime. Which could lead you to a better position and a larger salary.
So I say if you have the drive and the determination you can mange both without having to compromise one or the other.

While how long before you graduate? Would you be able to do an internship for them? You have to remember that account executive positions you will be expected to be able to keep customers happy and resolve issues fast. Very stressful just keep that in mind. If I were you and I did not have long before graduation keep going to school you need a bachelors for most jobs these days. I have been looking for a job for a long time and that's what I have been finding out.
What is your gut telling you about this job?

Take it, and enroll in one of the schools that lets you take classes either part time or 100% on-line.
Two I know about are Regis University (www.regis.edu) where I am enrolled and Front Range Community College (www.frcc.edu) where I went previously.
I work full time, have three children and I have enough time to keep up by going to school one class at a time.

Take the job, even if it is not in the industry you prefer. school can be finished later, if the job is available grab it. I'm am account executive in the trucking industry and I have yet to finish up school however I would like to finish up so keep school in mind. Years of experience in sales is very beneficial to future opportunities. Good luck.

Take it, and do school part time, you might not get this oppty again for a while.
Plus with a position paying so well, Im sure they'll help you with schooling and may even work in your favor to help you pursue your scholastics goals.
Best of achievements to you... !
And if they have opening in Colorado or New York Sate... email me!

Do both if you can but if you can't I vote for finishing school. Those jobs will be there but finishing your education can lead to those 6 figure jobs...just think. You wouldn't have to "settle" for $90k when you have your degree. Been there, done that.

You have to ask yourself, will you be happy to work or committ your full time for that job. ( I don't know if you have any family or kids to take care) I know it pays pretty good but sometimes you know ...life is something more than that.

Is that 90K salary, commission on average or potential earnings? What are the benefits? You'd didn't give a lot of information......
