Got the stuff in the mail from ASU and it does include a scholarship! $35k first year, $25K second year (I assume decrease is because I would be resident then), and $20K third year (I assume decrease is because I would be working at least somewhat then). Cost of living there is almost as cheap as PA, whereas my other schools all have wicked cost of living (Seattle & California). As for the job, they flew me out to the east coast, were highly impressed, and then offered me almost exactly what I already make! WTF! Actually, it would be less with health care benefits. The reason I want to go to school is because I work in a very small niche industry, and I really am probably the best person in the entire industry (not to be arrogant, but I have heard this from numerous sources). It relates to legal issues, and I have won cases, one landmark, without being an attorney, but my own employer doesn't realize who they have. I should run the place. But if I am not going to, and that has now become apparent, with a law degree, I can easily run my own biz or consult with these kinds of businesses AND have other options in case this small industry disappears. Plus, I just have a "legal mind." So I got REALLY excited about this plan, put a lot of time and work into it, then I saw this job that would have me running a program out here for an east coast company doing what I do, but as the boss. Perfect for me, so I could not help but apply. I also couldn't help but think that getting paid a lot more NOW instead of getting into debt would be a wise financial decision at my age, though i was perfectly committed to doing just that before I saw this job. Now I kinda wish I didn't bother! Because my industry is in WA, UW was my first choice because it's Also got a good national reputation, so that would help if my industry disappears someday OR if I just develop other interests in school. Seattle has a good reputation here, but not national. The others I picked for warmth (obviously) and reputation, except Penn State. Waiting to hear back from the job about a counter, but I feel that ASU is the way to go. (However, I have admittedly gotten myself ALL confused at this rate!)
What a dramatic and exciting cycle! Good luck with your final decision!
