hi,

i'm here because i can't seem to make up my mind about my two jobs. i'm 23 with two jobs. one full time with frito lay and the other is part time job at walmart. i've been doing frito for a year now as part time and i just went to full time two months ago. i'm a full time merchandiser which i go from store to store and stock chips. great money, but i have no life. my hours are 4 am to 12 pm, sometimes 5 to 1 and other days i work 8 to 10 hours a day. i take afternoon naps and my days off are monday and thursday.

i've been with walmart for 5 years, it's a decent place to be, but the pay isnt that great. there is a 3 dollar difference with walmart and frito. when i was doing part time with frito i pretty much work 7 days a week. on my days off from walmart i work at frtio in the morning and got the afternoon off. i was still able to do things on the weekend and my nights was always free.

since i've been doing frito full time, i work at night at walmart and it's killing me. i got sick about two weeks ago and my cold hasnt gone away yet. i no that you guys probably think i should just quit one job, but it's nice to have that extra money. frito lay is a great company, but i've been told from a lot of co workers, that they hardly ever see there family, but the money is great.

i only took frito because of the money and now i'm regretting it. i hardly ever see my boyfriend. he work days and get the weekends off. i hardly see my friends and hardly ever stay out late anymore. my bed time is 7 or 8. i feel like im missing out because i'm working all the time. i'm a typical person who gets bored easily with a job. being with walmart for 5 years, i've had 10 different positions. the longest i've stay in one spot was a year and half. 

part of me wants to go back to walmart but i dont due to financial wise. but part of me dont want to keep doing frito anymore. i'm torn and i'm not asking you guys to make a decisions for me, but to advise me. i know i should be thankful for having a job, which i am. my boyfriend said that he wants me to do what makes me happy and we'll be ok with money if i go back to walmart and quit frito. i just don't know what to do. please help if you can. thank you.

Only you can really determine which is more important - more financial security or more free time? Maybe a list of pros and cons to each job would help put things into perspective for you and help you make a decision?

I agree with Stephanie - making a list might force you to think of some things that you wouldn't have before!
