go with #1 it is more predictable routine right now with the union training coming up.you could work the PTACs and still do the school till the dust clears...you'll pick them up easy and be indoors.thank god the other isn't offering $30 an hour that would be a tough one,and just a body to them it would seem.get back with the union,and then do the PTACs on the weekends that aren't working in the spring/summer $$$$$.........nice gig!
