Which job should I take?

• So just a week ago, I got hired on with Old Navy as a sales associate. I'm going to school full-time year round so it seemed to be a good fit. Also I had 3 years previous experience at Old Navy, so I know exactly what my job entails. Just today though, another company, Swimco, has offered me a key holder position at their store and I'm confused if I should take the job. Yes there is more money from Swimco, but there is also more stress associated with it being a key holder and I don't need additional stress on top of my schooling. I have been a key holder before as well, and I do enjoy it, but sometimes it gets too stressful for a full-time student. So to summarize, at Old Navy, I know what I'm doing, getting a decent wage, don't know how many hours I will be getting, there are more people to meet, sales associate (less stress) and I know how to do my job. At Swimco, I get a key holder position, more money, too much focus on sales (I don't like that), I know I will get enough hours to support myself. What do you think? I'm so confused right now. And I have already made a pro/con list, but I'm even more flustered. Thanks

• Answer:

  You are a full-time student. That is your main focus. If you flunk out, that is your future, not a mini lesson in life at Swimco. Your situation does not let you be available for the responsibilities Swimco demands. Be fair to them and to yourself, stay with Old Navy.
