1)take part-time job at literary agency.
Pros: Job my mom will be happy to hear about.
Will advance my career (which is off the rails right now, in an okay way).
Starts at noon, which I can handle.

Cons: Every day.
Shitty pay.

2)stick with cafe job.
Pros: Will lead to excellent bartending job.
Better pay.
More flexible and nice people.

Cons: Feet hurt.
Got to be there at 8 a.m. (two days) and on a weekend day.

Wild Card: With the cafe job I could also temp a few days a week.

Help I don't know what to do. Of course I haven't been offered the agency job. But a little bird tells me...

Go with the literary agency [if you can]. Manifest a career. Bow down to hard work and gain that experience. Don't get caught out there like I did. I don't even have a hack license to drive.

Oh come on. You can do anything you want.

Eh, I disagree with the guy above, though I am sure he is well-intended.

You will have more fun at the cafe. AND get paid better...so what if it's not something Mom will approve of? You're young. It's time to enjoy life, meet people and not be tied down to a "possible" (horrific) career.

I have to agree with razorart. Go with the cafe. You're only young once, so you might as well enjoy yourself. You'll find another literary or some such job when it really counts later. Live it up while it doesn't count so much.

I tend to agree with you guys. I can go back to pursuing an office job later, if I want.

On the other hand, I'm starting to get the picture that having a more full-time gig will let me save up some money so I can take off for a month at a time if I want, instead of having to work weekends and every other day and having my time off at home.
