Hmmm... Actually I have a problem: As I told lately, I'm attending evening classes to reach Abitur, that I can study on a university later Now I got two job offers: one for 9€ per hour, working in three shifts and also on weekends - means I had to quit these evening classes and look if I can attend similar classes by distant learning; and one job for 7€ per hour, working in only one shift from 7 to three, giving me the chance to remain in the evening classes. Both are not yet 100% fixed. Those evening classes and the chance of a later studium are very important to me, giving me the possibility to fulfill a dream of mine. So, should I choose the lesser payed job (even it's fixed to less than 70%) and keep studying, or should I choose the higher payed one (which is fixed to about 80%) and quit studying? What a dilemma... btw: I win Account frozen... |

Take the 7€ per hr job. Keep studying and look for a higher paying job....but then it's not my dilemma..... Logic dictates the 7 Euro job for long term gain. These dilemmas are now long in the past ... Good mornign there TGG! How is life treating you, and how are you keeping? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Hi John and Giant, thanks for helping me decide... I slept in while pondering, while preparing for the evening class starting in... 2 1/2 hrs I just don't want to sit here in a year or so, regretting a decision made in short-term thinking. I call that company with the higher payed job, and refuse the offer. Edit: Just called there. My god was this employer angry. Account frozen... |

Edit: Just called there. My god was this employer angry. That reaction could indicate the employer had other agendas with their staff, despite what the local employment laws and employment conditions state or dictate. You may well have had a narrow escape from internal things to that employer? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Edit: Just called there. My god was this employer angry. Well, it is one of the many "modern slave companies", and they searched a chemical worker with several extra qualifications, so I was the optimal man for the offered job and they were really glad that I had applied for it (though with a non-ignorable "only day-shift if possible!" note on the application).
