How much should you take home from a paycheck to make it worthwhile to keep the job?

I'm a college student working 2 part time jobs totaling 80 working hours a month. I drive a lot - to get to my jobs and also to drive my clients around, and get compensated very little mile-wise (.30 mile.) My monthly wages for job #1 is $550 with my take home after gas is deducted at $280. My monthly wages for job #2 is $300 month with my take home after gas is deducted at $180. Is it worthwhile to keep these jobs if I am taking home (after gas) only about half of my earnings?
Answer:

Sorry u would do much better at 2 fast food places. u are not even making minimum wages. as for the mileage , on IRS tax u could get 50cents a mile write off on long form. U still would not be making minimum wages

Unless you are desperate for that money, you are wasting your time.

MARK

you should take home enough after taxes to live on and a little extra to set aside for savings. there is not fixed amount.
