I would have liked the gamecube one but goats are useless after running out of milk so all you can do is get rid of them.

Back to Nature was the best, though I'm not sure if that came before or after 64. That said Stardew Valley is everything Harvest Moon should've been (I haven't played any modern Harvest Moon games).

Do you really have to get married to get the best evaluation? In my last playthrough I got the best reward even though I went the Joja route, and I'm pretty sure scrapping the community centre would've cost me a comparable amount of points to you never getting married. If you made a million you should be most of the way there.

Not sure how spoiled you are or want to be, but if you complete the community centre that's obviously good for some points.

I've never been married at the point of evaluation and have gotten top marks every time.

I know this pain.

Once a year, the harvest festival comes around, and once a year I get to make Pierre cry like the little baby he is. Then the festival passes, and I start my countdown for next year.

TLDR: Should I apply to work in call centers or should I stick with my 2 part-time jobs that I'm not terribly fond of. Which will be the least worse?

For those who work/have worked in a call center.

I figure it'd be a different experience in France, but what're your opinions on the matter? I'm employed by two lovely somewhat exploitive part-time jobs, and while both are in areas that are actually important to me (education in one and culture the other) they neither offer any chance for growth or are really what I want to do. In the former I do rote-memorization techniques to "teach" business people English and it's really demotivating especially since I'd like to actually teach and this is very much not that. The other is a pleasant part-time job at a library that will never be anything more than that. So rather than going mad and getting heavily bummed out on a regular basis because of this, I want to just get a steady full-time job, that perhaps doesn't pay much, but enough and gives me time to study for the exams that I need to take to be a teacher. Assuming that the call centers here in Paris are full-time would you guys suggest the experience? Cliché dictates that they're soul-sucking experiences, but I just want something reliable for the next 6-12 months (if I pass or fail my upcoming test really; if I fail I'll have to take it again next year).

Rune Factory 3 was the best harvest moon game for a long time. Is this better? I've played a little of Stardew Valley and thought I'd miss the monsters but so far--- NUP.
I find it funny that the best harvest moon games are frequently not harvest moon.

What kind of call center is it? It can be a tough or REALLY tough job depending on the types of people you'll have to deal with. (Source: I support several major consumer healthcare company call centers from an IT perspective.)

It absolutely depends on the type. I worked in an outgoing call centre for 3 months and it was the worst. It was not unusual to find people crying in the bathroom. I only worked 3 days a week because I needed a day off between each work day to get my mental strength back up to bring myself to go into work the other days.

I'm not really sure. I applied, since I can always say no, so I'm waiting on some more information.

They call themselves a Société d'études, so that'd be some sort of poll-takers. I'm applying since they're looking for people who're multi-lingual for phone interviews. I imagine it's some sort of telemarketing. What I'm more worried about is that it's just going to be another part-time job, which is just the state of Europe right now, and in that case I'm not taking it. So we'll see.

Generally what I've been doing, but as the library job requires me to work Wednesdays, and most people want me that day too it's been hard to coordinate. OR working 4 days a week gets me paid squat and the library job already pays the lowest possible, with absolutely no chance of advancement.

The only benefits it brings is that I do like the work and have made good friends there and it is literally next door to where I live. However, I see absolutely no future there (though I've been told I'd be hired were there ever an opening, but those sure won't be forthcoming EVER.)
