My sister-in-law just graduated with her master's in school psychology. She's having a really hard time finding a job. I think the problem is that there is not much turn-over in those positions, so you basically have to wait for someone to die or retire before a position opens.

IMHO, if you have a chance at a position in the field (which it sounds like you do), you should take it and see where it goes.

In the end it will come down to whether your first priority is having a good, fulfilling job, or finishing school for the sake of having sone so.

You may go in thinking that it is a temporary thing, in which case you will go back to school and graduate with some real-world job experience (putting you miles ahead of most of the people who you will be competing with).

On the other hand, you may decide that the job is just what you've been looking for, and that you'd rather like to make a career of it. In that case, you're set in a good position and don't need to finish school.

Just keep an open mind, and remember that you can't plan everything. It's usually a good practice to have a plan and to finish what you start, but you also have to be able to recognize opportunity and deviate from the plan if necessary.
