Title says it all. What should I do?

So, for the fun of it, I decided to take two similar positions, a diner line cook and a retirement home cook, and I decided to break it down. These are two jobs that I could probably get pretty easy, since I have experience working in a restaurant, especially in a kitchen capacity as an expo. Both don’t require any formal background cooking, so for the fun of it, I said what if I worked at both of these places at once hypothetically, I was actually really disturbed. So the diner has you working 5 eight hour shifts, and 1 nine hour shift a week; already we’re at 49 hours a week. The pay rate for them is 14/hr. So if I just worked there, it’s 32,928 a year; not very good. So, I added in the retirement home, pretty possible to work both since the diner closes at 1:30pm,…

I've been looking for part-time work for awhile now, and did this interview. They advertised WFH, but during interview they said they're from my own city. Now they like my work but want me to work 6 days a week, for 7 hours. The pay would definitely be an increase, but the travelling would take away much of it. Just to put some context: I'm a graduate and will continue studying. However there's no work in the industry for which I'm studying, so I work with a different skill. I'm in India, the company has accepted me for an internship position and paying ₹10k (roughly $126). Traveling 6 days a week for a month would require me to spend 3 hours everyday on the road and around ₹5k. The company has agreed to help me balance my work and studies, but they also insisted it's impossible to work from home.…
