babby's first second job Anonymous 2016-02-16 03:06:38 Post No. 1095863 [Report]

Looking for guidance here, this is through an effort to drastically increase my income in order to remove debnts.

I'm already employed in a substitute temp position ($14.60/hr) with one company that I like and want to move up in, but there is only one more (permanent, full-time) tier to move up into ($16.40) before I've exhausted what my bachelor's can do for me. The hours that currently I pick up are depressingly sporadic though, mostly weekends that no one wants. The hope is that some point they'll put a notice for an opening for the $16.40 one and I'll have a foot in the door compared to most other competition.

I'm awaiting results from an interview for a second job that I totally nailed, which is full time but also temp, no benefits. Whether it will lead into something at a higher pay grade is undetermined, but they will start me at M-F 9-5 full time at $12.20. I've heard they are a good company to get into once they place you, and it is the largest employer in this side of the state.

I guess my question is, based on the information I've provided, can I keep up this amount of work? Am I being a baby for thinking it might be scary to work 9-5 Monday through Friday as well as weekends at the other place? Which company do you think I should stick it out with should I have to choose between one or the other?

I say go for doing both, with the full knowledge that you will quit whichever one feels shittiest when/if you can't take it anymore.

This approach allows you to maximize profits and get a feel for which job would be better for you. The other advantage is it gives you a mental escape hatch which I find works wonders for your productivity and happiness at a job - if you go into work every day thinking "if I really dislike something systemic about this job, I can just quit it and I'll be fine" - you will approach that job with a much more no fucks given attitude, which at least for me encourages me to stick my neck out and get noticed.

It's quite simple. First, decide which job you value more. Then take on both jobs. Make sure to put 100% into the one that you value more and try to keep the second one afloat. If it turns out too tough or if you fuck up then sacrifice the second job and move on.
