You have been offered two different jobs for the upcoming summer. Since both are full-time positions, you must choose to work only one of the jobs.

The first job is in an office. The pay will be $700 per week. The office is located 20 miles from your home, so you estimate that you will spend $50 per week on gas. You will also have to pay $50 per week for parking. Because you are required to dress professionally, you will need to purchase some new clothes. You estimate that you will spend $420 on new clothes for this job during the summer.

The second job is at an amusement park. The pay will be $520 per week. The amusement park is also 20 miles from your home, but you can carpool with a friend. Your share of the gas will be $25 per week. There is no charge for parking. The amusement park will furnish you with a uniform, so you wont need to buy any special clothes.

Assuming that your summer break will allow you to work 12 weeks, which job will provide you with more money?

What qualitative factors may convince you to take the lower paying job?
