The student is considering whether to accept this position or continue with a tutoring job at their college.

Hello PF. I'm a sophomore at a community college majoring in EECS. I recently got the opportunity to work for a attorney at the Attorney General's office in my downtown area (Detroit). I'm pretty sure this is a government position but I might be wrong. The work is part-time and can be full time during summer. Currently I'm a lifeguard and I'm tired of it.

Is this a good opportunity? Or should i stick to my original plan of tutoring at my CC?

Well it would look very amazing on my resume, since this is the general attorney's office.
I would have like 330 net per month to spend (taxes and gas substracted).

It sounds like a good gig.

Edit: 330 to spend with gas, phone, and insurance included
