8:30-5:30 or 9-5 for a $152 difference?

So I started a new job at a law firm, and I'm making $21 an hour. I am currently working from 9-5, except I have a one hour lunch break that is taken off, so I technically get paid for 7 hours a day. The boss asked me if I wanted to change my schedule to 8:30-5:30pm, so that way I could make 8 hours a day, and do the full 40 hours. Here's the breakdown of the checks for every 2 weeks(I took off the taxes for my state): 8:30-5:30(80hours): $1,255 9-5(70 hours): $1,103 Overall, it's about a $152 difference per check. Obviously, I would make more money, but I would have to wake up earlier and stay later. Should I take the offer, or keep my 9-5?? Is the $152 difference per check worth it? or should I just keep doing the schedule I had. Tbh, I like…
