Serving up Excellent Coffee: Part-time blues in a major key

Working two part-time jobs is a plausible solution to a job drought.  I am now on the path to earning health insurance benefits in six months while increasing by 98% my retail service experience.  Both part-time jobs that I work have industry respect, and flexible scheduling.

What are the disadvantages to working 2 part-time jobs as opposed to holding out for that full-time, full benefits career?

Joe Helper's part-time job is beyond stocking shelves, filling orders, smiling and saying, "Thank You."  I predict store managers will begin to request, and then demand, digital social-connection between part-time retail workers and customers.

My job at the coffee shop is going to bleed into, with life-giving and interesting blood, my off-the-clock time as I am asked to promote the brand.  Just like my full-time counterparts in distribution, marketing, and roasting, I'll be answering email and carrying on conversations via text all day long.

And at my part-time job as a software trainer?  I am going to push for more marketing with a highly educational tone.  We need a blog, a daily twitter tip for Excel, Word, and Outlook, a giant and effective bank of helpful links to internet resources and smart-phone apps.

For a recent graduate, two part-time jobs is a decent solution to the seemingly insurmountable task of finding full-time work.  I am not going to be one of the 6.7 million without work for 26 weeks or more, and I have follows--8.8 million who would prefer full-time employment.  And, I am actually getting a really brilliant, real-life education in retail and software, not to mention free coffee, tea, and scones.
