Pittsburgh it is?

So, I had an interview last week for a placement with the library at the School of Engineering at UPitt... a placement where I'd get 3 credits a term for 10 hours/week work.  Or so I thought.  I got the official offer on Thursday and it's not only a salaried position (which isn't going to be a ton of money, obviously, for 10 hours a week) but I'll actually be getting 6 credits.  6 credits per term.  Which adds up to 18 credits.  The degree requires 36 credits total.  Do the math with me, people.  Let's break it down.  Divide 36 by 18 and what do you get?  2.  Half of my credits.  Paid for.  By working 10 hours a week.  I think my decision is made.
