Okay NS, so I have a bit of a dilemma with a part-time job choice for this upcoming school year. I'm in college now so three days a week I have half-days off. I could either work for like mcdonalds or something, or I may have the opportunity to get a job a ski shop. The disadvantage of the ski shop job is that I would have to work during the day more right after school, which would cut into potential ski time, whereas at a fast food joint I have more flexible hours and can work after the hill closes.

pick the ski place, youll enjoy it more, im guessing it pays better, and you can get employee discounts= more skiing in the long run

Best college job I had was working front desk at a hotel (doing evening or night audit) Always got all my homework done and had plenty of free time during the day. Night audit is awesome if you dont mind give up a night or two. Throws your schedule off a bit, but i was pretty resilient.

But if that isn't an option. Ski shop or a coffee shop that is open at night... cause at least you would get tips at the cafe... you don't at mc donalds.

fack mcdonalds brother. you'll have plenty of time to shred if you're working in a ski shop and you'll meet more people who like to shred like you do. you'll also learn some important ski tech type shizzle.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm leaning toward the ski shop job, skiing mid-week by yourself is kinda boring anyways. (In Ontario that is anyway haha.)

Good choice. You would have deeply regretted working at McDonalds instead of a shop
