Job One:

$6/hr + tips, host at a restaurant.

Already trained and have nice coworkers but all are drug addicts and rough. Underpaid for the amount of work done; set up restaurant, bus tables, to-go orders, set tables, seat people, sidework, etc.

Usually end up making min wage or a little more or less

15 min away

I get to choose shifts and take months off when I want.

Job Two:

$9/hr + tips, host at a restaurant.

Not trained but got the job, pending my acceptance.

Seat people and handle reservations.

Make above min wage.

45 min away.

Work holidays.

Fine dining, lots of connections to people who can help me.

I'm torn because I don't need money badly and it's a long drive for job 2 and the schedule isn't good (I'll be in college and overworked), but I feel like the connections might be worth it for job 2. What do you think?
