Ok so I work part time to help out with costs at home while im at uni...I only go to uni two days a week and I work at a coffee bar three mornings in the week with my weekends off...
Ive just been offered a fab new job escorting rides all day wednesday at a great farm....lovely atmosphere and should work out well...hopefully my days will increase to two and that will be all the hours I need...until then im hoping to shortern my hours down at the coffee bar or even quit and start a job at a pub...
problem is im stuck what to do and need some advice...
At the moment this is what it works out as -
wed, thur and fri - 6.30am - 12.30 pm and weekends off working at the coffee bar which is fab but the atmosphere and staff are horrible...I also get paid holidays...so quite reluctant to leave really...Or
1 full day on wed working at the farm, two mornings at the coffee bar ...with maybe the chance to increase farm work in the summer?
Or 1 full day at the farm, two evenings a week in a friendly pub...paid more at the pub and the people are nice and friendly...

Problem I have is the farm and pub are 8 miles down the road from me where the coffee place is in walking distance...I know you are going to say I am mad to leave the coffee bar but I cant stand it, ive been there 7 months and I havent been paid proberly, the boss is awful and the staff just cant be bothered so I get left all the rubbish jobs....

I finish uni in may and im planning to work full time till mid july - I cant bear the thought of working more than I have to at the coffee bar, where the pub idea doesnt seem such a bad one and once I return to uni 5 days a week in september I would be able to alternate my evenings around this....
What would you do...?? Ekkkk??? I know its self indulgent but im really stuck....

I'd say leave the coffee bar! I know what it's like working somewhere where you don't like the people you're working with, and it's hell! You're also gonna be paid more, so bite the bullet and leave!
 
Go for the farm.... It's written all over in your thoughts....
Personally, I wouldn't need to think about it or be asked twice!

And then..... if your not happy at any job, jack it and change! You only get one go at life... try and make it what you want it to be! Lost count of the number of times I've jacked it in simply because I just wasn't enjoying it....

There's something out there to suit...and escorting rides...and getting paid for it..... well they don't come along that often!!!

Good luck with it!
 
thanks everyone for the great advice....your right Boltonrider...my mum has said the same thing in the past to me actually...only get 1 life, live it well and if you dont like something change it...
thanks I just needed that extra reassurance :0)
Pub and farm here I come :0)
cheers

I'd go along with Boltonrider! Whats the point in doing something if you can do something else you enjoy and get better paid for it! I hope you have fun escorting rides! Wow.. being paid to hack, now thats a job
