Forums - General - Should I get a summer job?

I can't decide if I should or not. I want to play lots of games this summer, but I don't want to run out an be bored. On the other hand, I also want to practice my instrument for band every day, and am taking a difficult math course to get ahead in school. Then again, with a job I could probably save $500 for spending in College, and would be able to buy pricy stuff I want like Dragon Force ($90) Shining Force 3 ($90) and an Xbox 360 this fall w/ Banjo Kazooie (Hopefully $310 :D)

BTW, I have $100 now to spend on games, and should get $200 more throughout the summer for mowing lawns/doing chores. Here are some games I want to beat this summer that I own-

Saturn

Legend of Oasis

Dark Savior

NiGHTS into Dreams

Panzer Dragoon

Wii

-Zelda

-Mario Galaxy (get all 241 stars)

-NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams

Moneky Ball Banna Blitz

- also need to beat Zelda wind waker, phantom hourglass, Majoras mask, ocarina of time, link to the past. 

AND... what games do you think I should get with my $100? Here are the games I was thinking of:

Saturn

Sonic Jam- $35, 25 hours of gameplay

Dragon Force- $90, 80 hours of gameplay

Shining Force 3- $90 (I think) 30 hours of gameplay

PSP

FFT- $25 100 hours of gameplay

Disgaea: afternoon of darkness -$25 180 hours of gameplay

Tales of Eternia- $40, 40 hours gameplay

Valkeryie Profile: lenneth $35, 30 hours gameplay

Wii

Okami- $30, 50 (I think) hours gameplay

Super paper mario- $25, ??? hours gameplay

which games do you think I should get? I am thinking that if I don't get a job, FFT and Disgaea and Sonic Jam would be best, and if I do, Dragon force followed by eventaully getting everything might be best. So am I better off getting a job, or just sinking lots of time into SRPGs bassically?

Study, study and study....When you have a good job you also have a bigger chance to have more free time and money for playing games ^^'';..

 The math class hasn't started yet, but I am thinking it will be about 2 hours a day of study becuase I am a "B+" student at math... then practicing my instrument will probably take an hour a day, so that leaves a lot of time for gaming.... now if I get a job, that will probably be 4 hours a day 5 days a week or so. Which would leave about... 1-3 hours a day for gaming depending on what I am doing.

 I am saying this because I have experienced it myself but after working you really will not want to study anymore...






If I were you, I would buy a sega nomad, so you could play you genesis games wherever you go....
Or just get a treamcast (travel dreamcast)
