I've asked this before, but I want someone out there to help me feel okay about giving up on Penn...

Fordham PT = Full Salary during 4 years of school + Reduced work hours + Full tuition paid + living at home + guaranteed 160k job (no bonus) on graduation with a small firm, 40 hour work week, future of the firm uncertain, might become an unpleasant work environment, small support staff, etc.

vs.

UPenn = not working (so more time to study but no salary except in the summers) + no tuition help + need to move + I can probably find a better job, but if not, I can still get that 160k job after only 3 years of school

Sounds like Fordham is the best bet.

I thought as much

sounds like you got a great deal either way. i'd take fordham since you can get a full salary the whole time.

If all that you list really are guarantees for Fordham, you'd be wrong not to take Fordham. It's by far the best option for you.

OP, how did you get the guaranteed $160k gig? Family connections?

It sounds like she's working at the firm now with them helping her pay the tuition. In return she agrees to work there for X number of years after LS.
