I really need help, thank you very much.
But don't do it just because someone else tells you to (especially me). Do what you feel is right.
What are you life goals, what do you want eventually do as a career? What don't you like about college (can you change programs/courses)?
You have lots of options, you should think about this a bit more, don't just take the job because its been offered to you.
I used to make good money as a PHP developer 10 years ago. These days I have been priced out of the PHP job market because I'm competing with every college dropout that's willing to do my job for a lot less.
How long have you been in college for? What are you life goals, what do you want eventually do as a career? What don't you like about college (can you change programs/courses)? You have lots of options, you should think about this a bit more, don't just take the job because its been offered to you.
You NEED that theory stuff. If you don't get it now, it will stunt your growth and will limit how good you'll get at your craft (mainly because you'll keep making rookie mistakes for the rest of your life because you won't understand the theory behind what you're doing).
Quitting something just because it's hard is a very bad habit to get into. All it does is keep you on the bottom rung for the rest of your life. The good things are hard to get. That never changes no matter your age or station in life.
If you really want to do well in life, start researching companies now, while you're still in school. Find out what they're doing. Find out who they're looking for. Get contacts within those companies and talk to them. Build up a contact network. It's WHO you know that gets you in the door, and WHAT you know that keeps you going.
