hmmm...i would say the diet tech...but do you have potential for a promotion if you are a surgical assistant?

In this economy, I would go for the full time surgical servies assistant. I would rather have stable job with good job security and full time benefits and make a little less. It sounds like they would both even out in the long run. Good luck!!

If it were me I would take job 2.  It is what you went to school for.  I know it isn't permanant but if you work hard they may want to keep you on, and even if you don't get offered a permanent position, it is experience to put on your resume, and it is much easier to get a job with experience than with none.

For me...I would pick 2...but I don't NEED a job...so I would take the risk for the better job.

Pick the one u will enjoy, which I think is no 2. If u do a great job it may lead to perm position.
