How much $ in exchange for a semester

Hello all,

I was looking for some advice on my current situation, specifically how much $ you would have to be paid over the course of 10 months if it meant taking of the Fall semester of undergrad.

If I continue with my current job I will have to take off the Fall semester. I told my bosses that this is not an option for me and would have to quit. They told me they'd pay me extra to work for the rest of the year and asked me to name my price.

I am a VP of sales and I was paid in total around 39k last year, not a lot, but great for a 20 year old college kid working part time for 2/3 of the year (September-December is our busy season, 60-80hr weeks, rest of the year around 25 hour weeks + school). I would be put on a higher salary until I leave in December.

My main concern in regards to taking off school is having to make it up in the Summer semester, making me unable to take summer internships. Thankfully my parents do pay for school and medical expenses but not living expenses. I have enough money saved to last me for around 9-10 months.

My current goal is to land IB summer internship's in 2020, 2021, and graduate 2022. The plan might get thrown off if I am unable to go to school this Fall.
