I have had to choose between working at a fast food restaurant (crappy job) and working as a math tutor (awesome job), but the tutoring gig was a contract deal and as such they were not required to provide any health benefits. Working as a tutor for a couple months was really great, but in the end I had to go back to working fast food so that I can pay for medications and a surgical procedure. Yay Capitalism!
