    i have applied for a college degree and sent off my acceptance letter the other day, my problem is i just received a call from a company that i am threw to the last stage of being interviewed.
    if i get it i will be on a permanent contract. i still haven't got the job so don't know what to do. will i get in trouble with the college if i decide to take the job in a few weeks.
    its just a lot of bad timing right now and iam not sure which i will take yet.
    has anybody ever been in a similar situation.

    Once you let the college know as soon as possible it should be fine - As soon as you hear let them know

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    No, the college you have applied to is a private organization and doent take things personally, what will happen if you take the job is your place will be offered to someone on the course waiting list.
