General
ok so i got a call from a job i applied for not to long ago. the job is for jeff wyler Cadillac and i would be working as a lube tech/intern mechanic. would be making about 8.75 a hour starting out. the job is a 5 to six days a week. working from 2-7 mon-fri and 8-5 satuday and sunday off. it would be about a 30 hour work week. i currently go to high school and next year will be going to college so if i take the job i will basically have almost no free time and trips to cons will be out of the question.
i currently work a a certified lube tech at a valvalone instant oil change make about 8.50 a hour. i work about 22 hours a week and as of now with work and school i barley have time to do anything social or anything for myself and i am almost running on empty. i know that working at a dealer would be moving i9n the right direction but i found something out about jeff wyler. they may lose their GM fanchise this august which mean they would have to shut down. so i am not assured a job. so i would be leaving a steady job at valvoline where i have been for over a year and am about to move up in the company for a dealer that may not exist in 6 months. so idk what to do what do you guys think?
THE PROS:
-get to work in a high end dealer
-higher pay more money to work on my project cars
-can intern with my school for college credit
-gets my foot in the door of a dealership
-my goal has been to work at a dealer for the past few years now
THE CONS:
-The job may not be there in august at which point i would be moved to a KIA dealership and i really don't like KIA
-Nearly double the distance to drive each day so more mileage on car and more cost in gas.
-will be burning my bridge at valvoline and quitting a steady job that i most of the time like
-if i take the job will be working my ass off and have no personal time (30 to 40 hour week with college or high school)
-No Saturdays off EVER
-no vactaion time to go to cons at all
-know people who use to work for jeff wyler and they quit because the management was so bad
-alot more stress and and no "me" time i am only 18 i have the rest of my life to work my ass off and i have worked since i was 14 and kinda want to spend sometime having fun while i still can and have the money to blow
-kinda scared to make the change because i am happy with the way things are going in my life right not
-if i don't take it who knows if i will get a chance again to get into a dealer but at the same time i am only 18 so i still have lots of time to reach that goal.
so what do you guys think i know that from a carrer stand point i should take the job but from a personal stand point i am loosing a lot of fun time and socail time and lot of my teenage years will be spent working my ass of.
at this point i am leaning towars saying no to the job what do you guys think?
