Should I accept the position in my community or go back to school?

Recently I was expelled from school for planting a bomb in a locker...but it did not go off. Since the police decided they could not prove I did it, they have seemingly dropped the case. The Obama campaign is hiring "get out the vote" workers and my friend already is working for them. She only shows up a few times a month but always gets paid. She told me Barack would understand my plight since one of his best friends was caught in a similar situation. I'm not sure, though, if I should depend on Affirmative Action to get into local community college or go to work? Help.
