Eeny Meeny Miney Moe

I haven't been employed yet. I'm still waiting on responses and also trying to decide where I'd like to spend my next 5 months of sweat and blood at.... Today I researched to narrow down my decisions. I think I have a hard time trying to be satisfied of who I want to work for. Last semester, I interviewed and turned down three different jobs because I just didn't like them when I walked in. It didn't fit me. They were mostly clerical jobs. So right now, it's down to Mad Potter, Kumon Tutoring, or a new field altogether: The Chocolate Bar. Yes, being a candy maker, a chocolate baker, and I'd get to wear aprons and possibly get to serve kids scoops of double chocolate fudge ice cream or giant slices of german chocolate truffle cake. I just made those flavors up b/c I have only been to The Chocolate Bar twice in my life. haha. But it would be so cool yeah?!?! The hours aren't bad either. Not like usual bakeries where you'd have to wake up at like 6am to start baking. Chocolate has a longer shelf-life and the fridge doesn't really harm it. They open at 10am but close at like midnight. I'm really not sure who I want to work for. I guess I can list pros and cons of each one:

Chocolate Bar
Pros - cool job, great hours, learn something new, discount on food, in hip area of town
Cons - might be hard to learn, might be stuck in the kitchen the whole time, far from home

Mad Potter
Pros - cute job, great hours, a trade I know how to do, discount on pottery
Cons - far from home, might get bored of it, i'd have to be enthusiastic like a clown to customers

Kumon Tutoring
Pros - get to work with kids, experience for Mongolia teaching, very easy job, close to home
Cons - very low pay, might get bored of it,
