I was offered an assistanceship today...

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I'm a CMIS (Computer Management Information Systems) major. My major's known by many different names at many different schools (MIS, CIS, BIS, BIT, IT, IS, etc)-- basically it's the business school version of Computer Science. I go to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, it's kind of a backwater school but I like it. Anyway, I got offered an assistanceship at SIUE, full scholarship and a small monthly stipend. This is if I decide to get my masters in CMIS or an MBA specializing in IT, which I probably will. My job at the school would be to work as the scheduling manager at the special services tutoring center, where I currently work as a tutor. I'd start before I graduate (for just the monthly pay) and once I graduate they'd start paying my tuition. So I'm going to do it. I guess the crappy job market can wait!</div>
