Hiya r/Advice.
Was looking for advice from the brain trust.
I'm 19 years old and almost finished with schooling.
I've also got a pretty significant job offer. It's more of a career actually, but its not a long one. If you can keep that career over 10 years, it's already fantastic.
I feel school is one of my priorities, but my future employer thinks I'm putting too much emphasis on it.
My future work requires I do practices every week in a lower level position, but still what I'd call a very high level position, just not at the level I'll eventually get to within the next 2-3 years. I've been skipping many of them though, even though I technically shouldn't. Usually, employers would suspend workers skipping those mandatory practice sessions.
I have to add I've also been struggling somewhat this year compared to last year, where I fully exceeded expectations, so of course I understand it doesn't really look good.
Also, I already signed a contract with my future employer that gave me a 100KUS$ bonus last
summer.
For some context, I'm doing some post-secondary studies that I can do entirely online with an internship as a headhunter of business analysts. My future employer is the Montreal Canadiens, they're a professional hockey team in the highest league on the planet, the NHL. The average NHL salary is 3.5 million US$. However, some players that had the same high level of interest as mine have signed for contracts worth north of 50 million US dollars over 6-8 years in recent years.
So guys, wHaT sHoUlD i Do, ShOuLd I aTtEnD pRaCtIcE?
