As a part time student, should I opt for a short term or long term? Which would be the better choice for me?

I'm currently a part time student (3x/week night time) and I am having 2 interview this week.

Both are in health-care sector:
a) should be short term, flexible schedule (more exposure to Covid)
b) a long term 8-5pm job, 5.5 days (less exposure to Covid)

I personally prefer (a) as it gives me a flexible schedule and I am able to bring my grandma to hospital for her check ups and have more time to cope with school (ending in August). But I'm not so sure which is a better choice.

Hmm, I suppose it depends on your long term financial and career goals?

Perhaps you can negotiate with your future bosses about time off to bring your grandmother for medical checkups and see how flexible they are for (b).

Another factor to note: Will you be able to cope with part time studies with full time workload? It could be taxing mentally and physically.
