While education is always stressed as the most important thing, employers look for experience. Whether its job experience, internships or special projects that you've worked on in school, having the experience in a real world situation (in this case, a job) will help you stand apart from everyone else. School -will- always be there, whether you have to retake courses or not. Special opportunities will pass you by making you wish you had jumped on them when they came along.
If this job opportunity was just a fun thing that you'd enjoy, I would say pass it up. But if it has implications of exceptional experience plus good pay, and will potentially give you the chance to finish school in another year, I would go for the job.
The people, throughout history, who have stood out are the ones who took the risk.
Take the risk. School will always be there (and easier to complete once you have the experience).
Good luck!
