I'm questioning my decision to take this job. I'm now thinking i need to down grade my expectations. I like the job, but it's running my car too much. Putting miles on it using tons of gas. Financially short term I'd be better off working at like Culver's. But than again I'm gaining experience in my field of study if i decide or need to return to full time i easily can with this job. Or use this job to get a better job.

Do i keep looking for something else? Or stay with what i have?

Drive to client's houses all over the city. Several places a day.

Do they pay you mileage? Otherwise it’s too much

Only when a client is in the car. I was misinformed when i interviewed that they did pay mileage. Found out later they only cover your mileage when your driving a client. I'm upset about that. Most clients are an hour away.

I’d not drive all over the city to multiple locations in my own car with no gas or mileage paid. Do they pay a lot for this kind of nonsense so if off sets the expense? That’s just unheard of.

They pay you to drive to client's places sort of. You work from home before you go you can charge to drive to your client's place. By the hour, not mileage.
