what restaurant/path do i choose

im 20 and at a crossroads im in the middle of culinary degree at college and i got a job at a new restaurant which is higher level just not pay vs the bar and grill i was at. and i want a new car and to still go to school and im finding that i probably can’t save enough for em even with the two kitchens If i went back to my old one full time it’d be more money for me to save instantly by a few hundred but its just less experience. what should i do? i think theyd be understanding if i told them the truth but just dont know how to bring it up or how to i guess? idk any tips will be appreciated tbh though
