I may have the opportunity to have a semester of summer tuition free, this semester (13 credits towards my biology degree, I'm a sophomore) I don't have a good living situation at home. So the option to work a few cities away in the middle of nowhere for $12/full time 40 hrs. The downside of working is I'd have to pay rent and have no money for a down payment. In fact, all I have is $43, I can pay my cellphone bill one more time, that's it.
What would you do and why?
