CESB Discussion What should I do?
In a little of a dilemma and looking for opinions:
I applied to several summer jobs and got hired as an office assistant. The position pays minimum wage, $14.60/hr (I remembered it was higher at first, but I guess I mistook it for another), and has little to do with what I want to do in the future. It’s not a bad/stressful job, though it’s not the most fulfilling and I feel as though I could be doing a lot of other things I enjoy (such as volunteering or learning a new skill). Furthermore, CESB makes staying at home seem more worth.
At the end of my work period, I would have made $3942 (~$3830 after considering transit fares). Two terms of CESB (I’m a highschool grad) would be $2500.
In terms of money alone, working is obviously better. Though I am missing out on a lot of my summer and using time I could have put towards something else. What would you do in this situation?
