If you don't have plans to pursue a career in the academia, then I think you should take the job. You can also discuss it with any university rep to find out until when you could possibly go back to where you stopped should you wish to finish your degree in the future.

Interesting article indeed, but did he or did he not use the defense of "acting under orders"?

As presented by 2 excerpts below:

"This is not to say that Groening attempts to hide behind the “acting under orders” defense. He does not present himself as a mindless automaton who would have followed any command given to him."

"Additionally, he felt he was—using the words of the infamous Nazi post-war defense—acting under orders, and he attempts to defend himself with this analogy: “The first time a company of soldiers gets a volley of machine gun fire they don’t all get up and say, ‘We don’t agree with this—we’re going home.’”

A little clarification would be nice.
