How can I start working in Jan/06?

[emeraldads]

I'm a F1 student in a graduate program of a US university. I got a job offer which requires me to start working (full-time) in Jan/2006. But I'm NOT SURE whether I could get my Master's degree (even OPT) by the end of 2005.
So is there any alternative way to guarantee that I can start working in Jan/06? I try to concurrently enroll in another college's program such that I can start working with OPT/CPT over there at that time? But it seems that requires 1 year enrollment over there first?
Is there any other solution?
Thank you for any suggesion.

if you enroll in another college, you will forfeit your OPT.

Get a precompletion OPT on your current Master's program. Apply for OPT permit 3.5 months before your start date with the employer.
