Weighing the risks of a seasonal job for better pay amid financial struggles

I’ve been working at my current job for 11 months, earning $14.50 an hour. My sister, who has been there for six years, makes $16.50, and new hires are starting at $17.50. I feel overworked and underpaid, which has led me to consider a seasonal job that pays $18.50 an hour. However, I’m concerned about the potential for being let go once the season ends. As a college student, I’m struggling to make ends meet with rent and travel expenses, and I’m even thinking about getting a bike to save money. I started my previous job as seasonal too, but they moved me to part-time, likely due to my sister's influence. I’m also encouraging her to find a new job since her pay raises have been minimal over the years. I’m really torn about whether to take the risk with the seasonal position or stick it out here.
