The job that i have now, I am supposed to work Monday thru Friday 9-5 but I am in school Tuesdays and Thursdays so my boss is nice enough to let me only work Mon,Wed,Fri. It's an office job so I basically sit on the computer all day and get to do whatever I want. However, my old co-worker from Victoria Secret (the job I had before this one) is a manager at BeBe and told me to apply and I would get hired so I did and I got hired but now I dont know where to work. I made a list of positive/negatvies of each job. Can anyone help me with my decision? What would you do?

Office Job

Positive:
Easy
Don't work weekends
Getting a raise soon (I make $9/hour now)
Get to do whatever I want ( talk on my phone, go on myspace, AIM, do my homework, etc)

negative:
It gets pretty boring after a while
I don't make enough money here

Bebe

Positive:
I would meet new people
Make commission (with the Holiday Season coming up I would make alot)
Have the opportunity to work more hours if I wanted to
I love shopping/clothes

Negative:
I would have to stand up all day most likely in heels
Have to work weekends and nights, but I can alway's request off

Both of these jobs are the same distance from my house.
