Balancing Career and Life: Decisions at 20 Years Old

[Bakunin]

Oks, I've always been a passive reader of forum...Until now =)

Im a ME student, finishing my 2nd year AND I am working 20hours/week at a well renown technology institue at my country. Working only 20hours per week gives enough time to study, so I am doing ok.

Yesterday, another job was offered to me...at another institute more "nuclear energy" oriented (basically i really like everything related to that subject ^^). But its a 40hs/week job.

PROs of my current job: Great team , lots of time to study, i like my job, learning alot, allows me to finish the career ASAP.

PROs of the optional job: Great for my CV, also time to study (but not as much as now), i think i could learn a lot.

Ofc in the second one i get a better pay, but in my mind that's not relevant in this moment of my life. Also, I am doing another stuffs, like doing sports, violin lessons, etc...which will be seriouly neglected if i take the other job.

Ideas, suggestions?
Btw, I am 20 years old.

Thanks.

I would probably stick with your current job and continue working part time. It sounds like you have a pretty good gig as it is. Focus on your studies, that's a full time job in itself.
