I have recently found a job that pays 14 bucks an hour

Applying to College

<p>I am a junior and have been working at baskin robbins on and off now for about a year and I was planning on working there until I leave for college. But I have recently found a job that pays 14 bucks an hour when BR only pays 6.55......... so my question is...........</p>

<p>Would it look better to stay at baskin robbins to show commitment, or should I take the other job for more money? Would it make me look uncommited?</p>

<p>I don’t think that having jobs all over the place matters. I think just having a job is a good thing in this economy!</p>

<p>Showing the initiative to earn as much money as you can in the months before you have to spend it (!) is very good! Go for it, and good luck!</p>

<p>Just think how much it would cost you for 3 or 4 words on your college applications. You’re over-thinking the whole upcoming process if this is a concern to you. It’s not like B and R is a “career” job…colleges know this…you’d be crazy to pass up the better pay.</p>

<p>Even with all the super smart people on this forum, their brains suddenly turn to mush when it comes to college admissions and their chances…</p>

<p>It’s absolutely ridiculous to turn down a higher paying job just because you want to show “commitment” to colleges.</p>

<p>I agree, go where the money is…
Money talks in this world, and colleges do know that. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Taking a new job for higher pay is NEVER a bad thing. It actually shows that you’ve established yourself as an excellent employee and are getting an “upgrade.”</p>

<p>And I agree with the others who think you’re nuts. ;)</p>

<p>You would look dumb by staying with a job that pays 50% less. Sheesh.</p>
