I’ve done my time at Starbucks 😭 I’ve worked at three different stores. I love the current store I’m at and we’re currently remodeling and will be open in 5 days. So I’ll be able to pick a new schedule because we’re expanding, opening earlier 4:30AM and closing later in the day 9PM so I get first pick before my manger starts hiring more people. I do school still and I like working earlier in the day right now I’m stuck working afternoon usually. Also I wanted to apply as a shift but that’s already been promised to someone else and I don’t feel like transferring stores again just for that opportunity.

However, I got an interview for this job as a Youth Developer basically I am taking care of kids elementary-middle school students. I’d engage with them in activities and help them with school and just life in general. I think I’m a bit tired of doing food and I need a job that I hope can leave me with good references once I graduate university. I know I will get the job because a friend I have also applied and was hired right away. They told me I definitely will be hired as well, and I’ve done enough interviews for jobs and school so I feel pretty confident. The schedule is 1-6PM Monday through Friday. And my pay starts at $18.50, I currently make $16.73 at Starbucks.

My only dilemma is that I guess I’ll be leaving the security of Starbucks. I feel safe working here but I also feel stuck sometimes. I know I’m only 20 but I just worry about not doing the things I want to do because I hold myself back a lot. I will still be working as a server on the weekends so money isn’t my concern. I like the 25 hours a week that I will get since I work around the same hours for Starbucks and make less. I guess I just want some more advice or maybe support? But yeah thank you for reading :)
