I'm trying to decide whether to take this research job

if you have a car, all of them (45-50 hours a week? think about working as a college student what you do...)
if you have to drop one, gamestop, it will open the least bridges for you in the future

haha, thanks. A car isn't the issue actually (thankfully). The RAY office and Game Stop are both a bike ride away from my house, and together only comprise about 20 hours of my week.

The assistant job is work at home, so I don't even have to worry about travel at all =].

My main issue with the research job is whether I actually WANT to spend 15 hours of my week researching and writing reports... I mean I'm getting paid, but is it something I want to spend my time doing? Hmm..

it'd probably suck to actually do, but having a good research background is really valuable in terms of future internships and jobs in a LOT of different areas, and you'd probably get a pretty personal reference as well.

Damn logic, making me do research over summer. But you're right... I have a feeling I'm going to take the job.

go for it, and give me a discount on gamestop games :) and i'll give you my anime discount......... if you want..... i work at an anime store, i dont know if i told you.

They don't allow me to give discounts to anyone but myself... I've tried, believe me. A store manager or assistant manager needs to make the transaction and put my employee number in in order for me to get any discount :(. I can't put my own employee number on a transaction I am performing. It's really lame.
