Which job should I take? Shift Leader at AMF Bowling or Shift Leader at Hollywood Video?

I worked at Blockbuster as a Shift Leader for a year, so I already know the movie rental business. The lastest I would get out at night would be about 12:30am. The manager seemed to really want me to work there, he even offered me 50 cents more. He would give me $7.50 and 38-40 hours a week. Plus, I will get free game and movie rentals, saving me loads of money. He also mentioned me being able to move up to Assistant Manager fast. At AMF Bowling I would have so much more to learn (including making food) and the lastest I would get out some nights is like 2 and 3 in the morning. It seems like it would be a little more stressfull and loud than I am used to. The manager didn't discuss pay with me, but I figure it would most likely be around $7.50 to $8.50 about 30-40 hours a week. I am in college and I live with my parents. Pay isn't the biggest deal to me. I just need a steady paycheck to pay off my credit cards and pay my car insurance with. What job would you take?

I'd personally take the bowling alley job because it just seems like it would be more interesting in a bowling alley than a movie rental place. However, by the tone of your question, it really seems like you want to stay at the video store. Do you like the people that work there? Do you feel comfortable there? If you already like it there, it may be easier to stay. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but only you know what you really want.

If your in college I would take the one at the movie place, but maybe before you do make sure and see what the bowling place pays... Less stress is always better....
