    the first without question. 12. 70 is decent, but close to home is key it's a psychological advantage over having to commute far away. plus gas prices aren't getting any cheaper. ive learned that money does not make you happy, and regular days of are very important..

    good luck!

    I would take 1, but that is because I want to be close to home and have great hours with holidays off. I already have 2, only I make 19.84/hour and I can tell you that I want the 12.70/hour job mentioned in 1...

    The first one - that's already more than I make now, and I have all the rest of those bennies, close to home(literally less than a mile), great hours, and all holidays off including the entire week of Christmas!

    I think I would take option 1. I would not want to travel to far only to find out that I did not have to work that day. Especially with the way gas is right now.

    Well I have #2 but I'd probably prefer #1...

    Oh I dunno... I do need money at the moment, but if I were working close to home I could work longer hours... Grr... I'll take whichever one offered me the job first. Apply for both, and whoever said yes would get me.

    I think it comes down to your own priorities. Do you have family? Do you like to travel? But the main thing in my mind is the satisfaction, I would choose the one I actually like best regardless of the pay difference. Good luck with that one my man.

    Second. Sounds more interesting, I don´t think working fixed and "secure" hours is for me... as to "far from home" -- I´ll make a new home close to it!
