Bad.

Kibbutz’s and the like aside, you need to work, money must be had and money must be spent. I am begrudgingly complicit with materialism. But if we’re to spend our lives, or most of it, toiling away for a currency whose worth is only arbitrarily assigned (there’s a lengthy personal take on existentialism attached to this I can never satisfactorily articulate, so I wont), do it on your own terms. Or at least those you can most comfortably resign yourself to. Or not. You know, just… rock out. It’s also good advice to not accept advice from people who don’t follow it themselves.

i understand the monotony thing. I worked at the same boring job for 3 years. I learned stupid skills ill never use again :P But it meant that at 16, i didnt have to live at home, I baught like 3 cars, i payed for myself to study and hey, now im at a place i love and ive never been happier.

You gotta do the shit jobs to get the good ones man.
Life aint easy, shit doesnt just fall in your lap and you might not get that dream job your after for years to come. Ive been working full time almost since i was 16, it aint so bad.

Once you’ve been there for a month or so, you will most likely be able to negotiate your contract down to casual. Employers will always be flexible for staff they want to keep around.

Good luck :)

I understand your feelings about the job. I think you should go for it though. Money is very useful. You can always leave later if/when you get sick of it or a better offer comes around.
