Need an SA

Alright guys, here is my situation:

Have a FT offer for S&T with a BB, but I just got accepted to Oxford for a two-year master's program and I have decided it is best to go. I ultimately want to work in S&T, but I think in the long run going to Oxford will pay dividends and it will be a fantastic life experience. I know I am risking a lot by going, but I am balls to the wall and figure if I can get a FT BB offer with a humanities degree from a non-target (as I succeeded in doing), I feel like I will sure be able to get a good offer coming out of Oxford.

However, this has left me in a unique situation- I have no gig for this summer. Obviously I wasn't trying to get an SA bc I am graduating this spring and had a FT offer, but now that I am going to Oxford, I really want to find an SA position in S&T for this summer (which could hopefully lead to FT after Oxford).

Therefore, I am wondering if anyone has any openings and interest in me. Here are some credentials (I don't want to get too specific because this is all public, but if you PM me I'll give details).

Credentials:

School: PAC-10 (not USC, UCLA, STAN), I go to this university because I have a full Athletic scholarship

GPA: 3.8, BA in Business and Anthropology

EC's: -My university's sole candidate for Rhodes Scholarship, 2010 -Captain of nationally-ranked PAC-10 Varsity tennis team (2008-2010): -Recently accepted to University of Oxford (2011) -All PAC-10 Academic First-Team -National Division-1 Scholar-Athlete -Representative for NCAA Hall of Champions


Also, even if you are not interested, let me know what you think of my decision, I am looking for advice.

If you are interested please PM me.

Btw everything here is true, I am not Jeff Chiang haha.

You want to work in S&T....you got into S&T at a BB....and your going back to school (granted Oxford) instead....so you can work in S&T...?

 

You posted this last week as well, identically. Why again? Can we give you different answers?

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

You should probably edit out some of that information as it took me five minutes to figure out who you are. But since you made it so obvious you probably don't care.

 

Id say take the job. England sucks, funny accents, bad teeth, shit food and weather. Oxford, I wear oxfords on my feet I step in dog shit with them.
