Defer an offer?
I am not sure whether I want to accept my PhD offer or my job offer. I have never worked in industry before. Is it ethival, or alright, to tell the school that to afford living during the PhD I need more finances, and consequently, I need to work for 1 year before doing it.
How will they respond, and i this uncommon ? |

I did exactly that. I was offered a lucrative job and I managed to also get in to a PhD program with full-funding, so I asked to defer my admission to Fall 2007, so that I can work for another year to become financially stable. The Dept. Head didn't have a problem with it and completely understood. I believe financial issues are one of the reasons that you can defer admission for up to one year, but make sure that's the case at that school.
