I've got a job offer from a newspaper company. Basically I'd be what they call "pre press" something, in other words I just verify sizes and dimensions, page #'s, spelling mistakes in headlines, etc. before it's sent to the press. Starting salary is $12 an hour, not too shabby considering I'm 18 with no experience and have been applying at title companies/banks/etc. with no lucky whatsoever. The really bad part... it's a 5-midnight shift, including holidays. I dont really care about holidays but I'd like to know how people handle the night shifts.
My parents are very well off financially so any job I get is mostly strictly for application purposes for when I try to transfer out of my current JC to a business school in a couple of years. How will production responsibilities for a big newspaper impact my chances? The only thing i've usually heard about night shifts are that people do them when they need a second job to make ends meet, or if they are just a night person.
