  I'm currently awaiting to go university, and doing a temp job which pays $7 per hour. Its in a local stockbroking firm and they want to give me a contract of about 6months, which finishes just before university commences.
  
  The days are VERY long and can stretch till late at nights. But the money is pretty decent.
  
  I'm thinking whether if i should accept the contract and work there for another 6months or use this time to explore other industries and opportunities
  
  Its a choice between staying for the money/experience(relevant in some ways i guess) or exploring other stuff before university starts.
  
  I'm really in a dilemma and hope you guys can advise!
  
  PS: I do need the money, however i think the experience is so-so and i would like to go to a foreign bank to try out.

  try this 6 months work.. then u decide after that.. after all if u work there, u gain some skills and knowledge be4 u change to other job.
  
  mostimportant is all the collegues tehre frenly ? do thye hav teamwork, ? are the management good? are they proffessional ?
  
  money might be the biggest factor but try to see in other perspectives.?
  
  WHen u work, money is not the most important factor..
  
  u will know what im saying here one day..

  Work experience BEFORE your graduation hardly counts as work experience.
  
  If you need the money, you stay the 6 months.

  it does.
  
  is the job related or useful to wat u going to study?
  since haben grad, i doubt u have chance with foreign banks
  so stick with this first, learn as much as u can
  go back to sch, study hard
  then after grad then choose wat u relli want
