I want to start school soon because my friend develops his own web games and makes around 1500-2500 a month selling them to sites. He said if I go to school for it we can partner up. This would take a year to 18 months.
My two cents: Take the factory job, three fourteen-hour days. Then you could do school two days a week, and have two days to yourself to spend with your girlfriend. I wouldn't bank on the video game job to be steady, because everything in technology changes constantly. I mean, look at Sega Genesis, that thing was huge, now it's non-existant. So, me personally, I'd take the job that gives you experience you could use towards a future job, if the video game thing didn't work out. You already have customer service experience at the coffee shop, so add manual labor to your resume.
I would think about what makes you happier long-term. The factory job sounds great but would you be happy with doing that for years down the road?
Well starting/finishing school is the destination in both scenarios, its just the path I take really. Be broke at coffee shop and finish school in a year, or be stable at factory but finish school in 2 years.
I just want to give my gf the best life possible. Thats why I'm so torn really. I'd hate to have to put her through a year of being broke. Inb4 simp/bitchmade. I'm the man of the house ya know? Obviously she works and has her own aspirations, but in my mind it falls on me.
She doesnt want me to settle or compromise my happiness for her. She wants me to stay at the coffee shop if it means I can finish school earlier. Even if it means less money. Gave me the "all I need is you" speil. Not to sound harsh, but its hard for me to take her opinion on this matter because she grew up in an upper middle class home. This is her first venture out of the nest. I don't think she quite knows what its going to be like.
Fuck it, I'm gonna go for the factory job. Time to man up. Schools gonna get done either way, might as well have some financial security as well.
Thanks for the advice guys. I know its only da innanep but I value a lot of your opinions and you guys are really easy to come to with stuff like this.

Good choice. Good jobs are hard to come by, and stressing about money all the time just finds on you. You can always continue to work towards other goals while you make bank.
Yeah the money alone is a good reason to take it....but factory work is a different breed so just go in with an open mind and willing to learn.....it can be very demanding
