I heard back from the place that offered me a job on Friday afternoon. The position they're offering me is a step below what I'm qualified for, and pays quite a bit less than I was expecting. The guy did say once all of my credentials are in place (I need one more certification) there was a good chance I would move up and make more.
Even though the pay is less than I was expecting I accepted the position! I really did like the company and think that its a good starting point. The job I'm qualified for just isn't available in that area right now. My professor thinks it would be good for me to get more experience instead of waiting for the perfect job.
EEEKKK! I can't believe I have a job.
