Sometimes it boils down to luck, I have an irrelevant Diploma but managed to secure a job in a local bank on my previous job doing back office Trade Finance work.

Some of my colleagues were UOL accounting and finance grad / some from the banking and finance course. Don't really think it matters to the boss, as long as you can present yourself well enough.
Oh! That's good news! Thanks so much for the advice!

Your best investment right now, is in YOURSELF.

If your job enhances your communication skill with different people... then its really vital for your future advancement and you should make full use of it to train yourself.

As for your study, just make sure you complete it so your investment in time and money is not wasted.

Investment should be done with spare money, so learn to create more spare money by adopting good habits like minimal lifestyle, use your money where it counts the most.

Cheers
I've been doing sales job for a few years alr. I think I have max out the things I have learnt. :( as in Im just thinking maybe a desk bound full time / internship will bring some new perspective to my working life.

If you are already more than half way into your uni. Then finish it.
I understand you point. I just felt that doing full time studies is like a waste of time if I can work for an income plus study part time.
SIM UOL students usually goes to school like thrice a week or so. Which explains why I need advice on full time work, part time job.

i would take the 2.9k full time job if i were you. it's a rare opportunity to get offered this as an a level holder and it would look even better on your resume than any internship.
Regarding the resume part, I have tried some interviews for admin jobs and when they ask for my past job experience, I said sales job. They told me that sales job cannot be used as a past experience cause it's irrelevant and etc.
Which is why I'm afraid continuation in the sales department will not be able to contribute to my resume :(
