i was heavily pressured into getting a very low paying part time job ($13 an hour/ 25 hours a week) that is around 15 minutes one way from my house. the only reason i interviewed was because the indeed ad said $16 an hour and full time, but when i went in they said the best they can do is $13.13 an hour and up to 25 hours a week part time, with no guarantee they could even give me that many hours. the thing is i have a college degree and i calculated that even if i am working 30 hours a week, with gas and the time i spend driving, i will not even have 50% of what i need to pay my current bills. i do currently have an online business that pays me more than this job would. i have other jobs that are going to be calling me for 2nd interviews hopefully this week that pay between 17-20 an hour and are full time with benefits.
should i not even bother with going in? i did all the onboarding but i feel like i am gonna just quit in a week or two anyways, and a few hundred bucks isn't worth the heartache/hassle of driving down there and having a confrontation with the guy who hired me.
for reference, its a hardware store in the retail industry, definitely not something i care about burning a bridge for in the future. i understand that this is on me, but realistically i cannot make it sustainable and im not a high school student looking to make a few extra bucks to buy food and books here im a grown adult looking for a stable career not a retail part time dead end job.
