I agree with Heald on this one. That time to yourself is rare and precious, and absolutely wasted on anyone of less than 22 years of age. If you can get it, take it with both hands.

On behalf of those of us who are less than 22 years of age... *friendly bitch-slap* I kid, I kid.

I'm going to echo the above posts. Though continued work at your store might make for a stellar addition to your resume, just think of the glorious letters of reference you might be able to snag from this grad assistant position. Additionally, speaking from experience, I can say that debt is a rabid bitch and avoiding it places you in an enviable position. I'm up to my ears in bank/government loans from my undergrad, though I was fortunate enough to receive a very generous teaching assistantship that will cover the cost of my tuition for my Masters degree and then some. Phew.

Either way, fingers crossed it works out for you.
