what part time job should i do

[Internet Wizard]

option 1: research
- joining a team studying Zanzibar, actual topic isn't set in stone. Could pivot this literally any way I want as long as it's relevant (like, saying how colonialism/development/trade was good for the island)
- Prof is chill, experience could look good on a CV
- Not really my academic interest but it's tons of creative freedom to be paid to fuck around on databases
- No this does not involve me going to Africa lmao

option 2: work at a gym
- can work as many hrs I want (up to like 19/week)
- good if I just want money
- not really cv worthy/relevant
- already have training from working there a year ago, so orientation will be easy
- basically just sitting at a desk, swiping people in

Wages between the 2 are similar (like 15-17 an hr) though hours might be low for the former depending on how involved I am. I'm taking like 14 academic credits and really just want money on the side

1 because 2 sounds really lame

If you really just want money and don’t want to burn out, the gym job sounds like the best option. You already have experience so more likely to be hired, you’ll probably get a decent employee discount so that would be good incentive to stay in shape. Sounds like an easygoing low-bullshit job too that won’t interfere too much with your academics

How much better is the pay between the research team and the gym?

How much better is the pay between the research team and the gym?

probably a dollar-2 more per hour at the team than the gym, though net hours might be much lower
I think of it like, team is for experience and gym is for pay

Could you get your EMT cert? Some places will hire you to be an EMT at concerts and shit. You get paid to watch a show basically.

Tanzanite tanzania is a cool place. Go for it

First one might be a good networking opportunity if it's something you can balance with the 14 credits you have, even if it's not a direct relation to your current study.

Second one sounds easier and something you may or may not end up being able to do coursework on the clock throughout.

Do whichever one you can do that won't inadvertently topple you over in juggling classes.

Stripper poles got your name on it

Pick which ever pays more and has the most flexible hours.
