Default Should I get a PT Job?

So, I just started working full time (Graduated in June) and I am having some monetary issues. Mostly because I have debts from school I need to pay back. Well, the sale of the car is not going well and I am thinking of taking on a part time job. My aunt and uncle have a business and the last hourly wage I was making last time I worked was $12/hr. I am debating working one or two days (which would be Sat, Sun or both). I figure that working one day will give me about an extra take home of $60/week and 2 days would give me about an extra $120/week. Here are the issues.
- The job sucks, but its easy work, just tedious.
- My aunt was suggesting other places to work instead of the regular fall back
- My full time job is my career and I do not want to jeopardize that at all.

So, should I try and work for them? How many days? Or should I look for something else.

do side work w/ whatever skills you have...for example, i do club flyer designs, web work, random networking stuff, and marketing / promoting for $$. The hours are flexible.

I would start off with doing just either Sunday or Saturday, full time M-F is already pretty demanding if you've just graduated.

I would first look for something somewhat related to your career, that would help build upon experiences. If that doesn't work out, work with your aunt. Heck, even $60 isn't that bad, that should cover some gas/food for a week.

There are a couple of banks up here that do 7-day banking and I would be a PT teller on Sat and Sun, but I work for a bank right now and that would be a conflict of interest.

If you really need a job, heck work retail.

Retail will probably pay about half what he could get on his "fall back" job. I'd work at hollister for the discounts and hot chicks though h:
