Hi, I kind of have a dilemma that I need some advice on. I was originally going to take a few months off before school starts to move back home to relax and get ready. Then I started entertaining the idea of a summer internship. On the advice of my roommate, I asked my contacts within the company for internship opportunities in the field I'm interested in (different from what I'm doing now). It looks like they're going to give me a decision on the internship by the end of day today, and it's likely to be positive. However, my last day with the company for my current job is at the end of this month, and more importantly, the lease is up, so I'd have to look for a place (and parking space) ASAP. My roommate has graciously let me stay for the month of June, but it's still going to be a big hassle with finding a summer sublet and moving and all.
I'm really kind of iffy at this point. I know the internship will be good for my career and recruiting later on, especially for a career switcher like me, but I also really want to move back home and just not do anything for 2 months. The internship work sounds interesting, but I'm just feeling kinda out of it. I would feel really bad, though, if they offered it to me, and I didn't take it, since they're basically creating a position for me because I asked. I'm tired of the city, and I'm feeling burnt-out. I miss the cornfields. Sigh.
Thanks for listening, and if you have any advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Just my two cents, but the time for this kind of thinking was before you asked for the internship. Turning it down now would be way worse than if you never asked. I assume you will be asking for letters of recommendation from some people from this firm. If that is the case then I would strongly recommend you not be so ungracious as to ask for something and then turn it down when it was given to you. If you are interested in bridge burning, this would be one way to go.

I agree with what you said, and that's why I'm feeling conflicted. My saving grace is that I already relayed to my contacts that I would need some time to find a place, etc., when they asked me when's the latest I would need to know the decision by. The deadline I gave them was over a week ago. So I do have a very valid excuse if I want to turn it down. If I do turn it down, though, I agree that despite the excuse, the bridge would become much narrower.
