I am at the stage of job searching where I'm going "help? Advice???"

So, I have two potential offers right now. One is 12 hour day shifts, with 3 weeks in a row working and two weeks off. It will give me experience in a corner of the industry I don't already have experience in yet.

The other is also 12 hour shifts, but it's 1 week night shifts, day off, 1 week day shifts, then two weeks off. It is in a corner of the industry I already know I like.

Which would you recommend?

I haven't *done* swing shifts myself (though I *do* do changing shifts erratically within the 11 AM - 11 PM range, which is also bad), but word on the street is that swing shifts will absolutely destroy you and you should only do them if the alternative is eviction or something similarly bad.

Will you be on your feet? (Because, on the other hand, 12 hours/day on your feet for 21 straight days *also* sounds pretty destructive.)
