<prompt> Human: Hi and thank you for reading this. So this is my current situation Im 24 and I just graduated my bachelors degree in farmaceutical laboratory sciences. Found a job as a quality control analyst pretty fast less then 2 weeks. However now that Ive started working at the company Im very disappointed with it. I work with weekly contracts should become a standard contract in 4-6months and earn 2,1k a month atm but I learned that my wage would already cap in 2 years at 2,3k a month. The job has a lot of pressure since we have a lot of administration on top of our actual job, having to log all our actions on paper in very detail and nothing is digitalised safety in the lab is questionable imo. We work Mon to Friday from 8-17 45 mins unpayed lunchbreak and I live 30 min away using the highway. Now here comes the dilemma, my summerjob in a microelectronics company has nothing to do with my field of expertise as an operator worked there for 5 years and they always gave me a great evaluation is looking for operators so exactly what I did before they work in 8 hour team shifts so morning 6-14 late 14-22 and night 22-6, you work 3 days morning shift , 2 days off, 4 dayslate shift , 2 days off, 3 days night shift, 2days off,... And so on. You also get 45 mins break but its payed and inside those 8 hours, the earn would be 3,1k a month since you work in shifts and can also grow still. Distance is about the same and Ive known the coworkers for a while now. The downside is that the company wont be around for another 10 years so I will have to look for another job sooner or later. And Im afraid if I dont get experience in my field now Ill have trouble finding a decent job later on. So the question Im wandering about is : do I stay at my current job where I earn less but get useful experience for the future, or do I go work at my summer job full-time where I dont really get usefull experience but make considerably more money and better hoursdays I will be off during office hours in the week because of the shift system so that can be convenient for a lot of reasons? Sorry for the wall of text but this has been bugging me now and I dont really know what to do.  <response>: Those probably arent your only two choices. You might try seeing what other opportunities exist in your career field. If you had searched longer, you might have found something better. Experience is probably more valuable than money alone at that sort of pay differential, though your current job doesnt sound like something you want to do longer than a few months.
