So I'm going to take some opinions here. I'm just curious what kinds of results I'll get:
If you were GUARANTEED the SAME benefits and pay for both, got to live in the AMAZING city of New Orleans for both, and naturally got to meet some really REALLY neat people at both, would you:
1. Spend 11 months of your life doing a completely random job that has NOTHING to do with your professional interests but that will probably give you some real-life-how-the-world-works expertise (house maintenance and repair, perhaps...) before you buckle down and start grad school?
or....
2. Spend 11 months of your life working in a unique area of your field of professional interest that you can't really get anywhere else and that would serve as a nice mental segue from roaming the country for the last year to grad school in 2011?
All responses are invited! Thanks :)

deciding factor: the group of people you'll be working with......who's funner and nicer?
Well...with option #1 I already know some of them pretty well and like the ones I know...there's mutual respect there too for sure. And there would be about ten new friends in the organization for me to meet.
With option #2...I don't know anyone at all at this point, but they're looking to hire up to 60 people in the position I'm applying for...so...that's like 60 new friends.
But I'll also make friends in New Orleans outside of my job ya know? Hrrumph.
Go with your gut! It usually makes the right decision.
