Work at a job that pays 9.00 an hour, or a job that pays 10.00 an hour but have a 7.20 bus ride there and back?

7.20 bus fares not bad, you make that back in your first hours work. I'd do the $10 an hour job
@crabbyhermit: yeah but overall it would only be an extra 40 dollars per week which when taxed would work out pretty much to the bus fair. If you can live within walking distance of your work that saves a lot of commuting aggrivation too.

I'd rather make $10 than 9 any day. That's ridiculous not to take the extra money.

@dreamingofoz: Actually only $4. Assume an 8 hour day. $1 difference in pay is $8 daily. Subtract bus fare leaves you with a positive of .80. Times a 5 day work week is $4. So there would need to be other perks.

@dreamingofoz: Nevermind, I see that you subtracted the bus fare after. Guess I need to work on reading comprehension. :)
