Argh. I'm so stressed out about work. I can't decide if I should stay put with the two jobs I have at the moment or try and look for one job tha is better paid than both of them.
My situation: Gap-year student with 4 months to save for uni.
Two jobs: 1) 5-10 hours a week at £4/hour + tips in a restaurant
2) Working in a cafe that is only weekends till July. I think I'll get £60/week +tips until July when I'll be on £150/week + tips. That sounds a lot, but I'll be working 45+ hours a week. The second job will end at the end of August
I can't decide if I should stay put or try and find a job with a high street store like Tescos, Safeways etc because while I like my restaurant job, I really don't like my cafe job that much, it ends at the end of August, and won't be open at Christmas so I won't have much work when I return from Uni.
Should I try and get a different job or should I stay with two certain things?

If you're eighteen or over this will put you on either £6.30 an hour or £8.40 an hour respectively.....but it's not really worth it if you hate the work!
I know Aldi pays £8 an hour on any day because you have to learn all the prices and train quite a bit, but if you're on a gap year then you'll have time to do that. They're particularly looking for people in the Nottingham, Corby and Derby areas.
