Vantaggi
Depending on what you’re schedule looks like, serving at a restaurant is the perfect way to stretch your hours into a second job. Whether it’s something unpaid, or just another great day job to earn extra cash, the late night hours do provide an outlet for clearing the daytime space on your schedule.
If you are working two jobs, just be careful not to burn yourself out. It can be an extremely stressful time. And while saving is a great thing, you need to make sure that you’re weighing the costs of what all those hours at work can do to your brain.
Svantaggi
Especially if serving is going to be a summer job for you, it’s probably going to suck sometimes to be a server. Everyone else will have the inevitable 9-5 or 10-6, and you’ll just be getting ready for work as they’re calling it a day.
What’s more is that weekends are prime time for your to be working as a server, so those are out too. Be prepared that if you want a serving job, it’s going to mean a lot of hours and not a lot of social time.
