jynx_tsilevon | Now...Do I get a second job?

SO I got accepted into summer research! All signed up an everything, which is a huge relief to get that weight off my chest. It means that I'm finally getting some Engineering experience AND I'm getting paid to do it.

40 hours a week for 11 weeks. It's a nice gig. AND it technically pays more than the job I am quitting AND I get paid monthly (instead of at the end of the program like I originally thought).

I'm making about 11$ an hour doing research. It's...a huge relief.

But since I work Monday through Friday, technically 9a-5pm or something (about 8 hours a day, give or take), I technically COULD work a second job.

Granted, I applied to be a lab tech for the computer labs here, and am going to apply to the catering place at the University Union, and I've asked the school of BME if they need tour guides (which is normally a paid position) but I'm torn.

On one hand, I could actively look for a second job and make extra income on top of the 40 hours a week gig. That means I would make a lot of money over the summer if I could land a second job that would only work me nights or weekends. There's never anything wrong with extra income.

But...
It'd be the first time in three years that I'd have weekends off and be home by 6 pm. I could hang out with Owl, who just got promoted at work and now he has a steady schedule that gives him set times off too. It'd kind of be nice to see him when it's not dark out (Ie: some other time than if I'm awake between midnight and three am).

So I'm sitting here, at a conundrum.
The responsible thing to do is to get another job and work 60-70 hours a week over the summer before school starts again in the fall. Though it won't pay for tuition, it'll he lower loans and balance out my cost of living (which is roughly 600$ a month).

The more "fun" thing to do is allow myself weekends and only work one job.

I don't know what to do .-.

Now...Do I get a second job?
