Should I take this job?
Undergrad student on summer break. I’ve been applying since literally last year for a summer internship in my field (biology) and got rejected or ghosted from everywhere. I came back from school 2 weeks ago and was just mass applying jobs cause 1) I had nothing to do and 2) I wanted some extra cash. Heard nothing back.
Yesterday I got an interview invite for a merchandizing role from a retail store and I scheduled it for today. To my surprise (probably cause of all the rejections lol) they accepted me and I can start sometime this week.
However last weekend I decided to book tickets to visit family in a different country, I haven’t visited in many years so it would be a nice way to spend my unemployed summer. I am leaving June 10th and will be back end of July, which leaves me less than 3 weeks at this job if I start immediately. Is it wrong for me to accept and then quit before I leave with some random excuse on why I can’t come back? Idc about burning bridges because I’m moving out of this area in a year anyways, I just dk if working for less than 3 weeks is a good idea or if its unethical/will have bad consequences.
TL;DR : Got a retail job right after I booked uncancelable flights to enjoy unemployed summer. I’m leaving in less than 3 weeks; should I take the offer and quit when I have to leave?
