Job/School Situation

Anybody have any experience with taking a job out of state while in the middle of graduate school? Did you enroll at a school near your new job? Do you regret it?
My situation is that I have 18 hours left (graduate in Dec 10) to get my MS in Accounting. There is an opening at a company I interned at for a summer. I probably wouldn't be thinking this much about it if it were a different company. Another reason I am thinking about this is due to the poor market in Louisiana as of late for lower-level auditor jobs.
I still would like to finish my master's, but I have my doubts that I would be able to convince myself to go back to school if I take a semester off.

Do you have the 150? If you do, take the job, register and start studying, and don't look back. MS in Acct is nice for hanging on a wall and that's about it.

Yes, the 150 is not a problem.
ETA: One of the benefits of taking longer than 4 years to finish undergrad haha.

Same, and I went back to get the MS to delay graduation another year and find a better job. In that regard, the plan was successful, but its doesn't add anything otherwise.

Check to see if a graduate school in the new location will accept graduate program credits from another school. Many don't. If they do it wouldn't be much of a problem to take a class a semester and wrap it up. And like Kfizzle said, if you are aspiring to get your CPA the MS in accounting is just a plaque on the wall. If it's a good job offer I wouldn't hesitate if you're ok w/ the location.
