Which job should I take??

I have received 2 job offers (YEAH!) I don't know which to take. I am a recent college grad, business, finance, banking, risk management majors. Job#1 at a major bank, $30,000/year, match dollar for dollar 401K, medical/dental insurance (I pay), sales, bonus on sales, cubical all day, Mon - Friday. Job #2 landscape business, for large businesses, $22,500/year, no 401K, medical/dental insurance (I pay), sales, comm. on sales, travel paid, I love being outside, some weekends. What do I do?
--------------------
That is not a hard choice in my opinion. Financially speaking , not only are you getting more salary the 401K money is a great bonus in job #1, there is usually a cap on the total matching in a year so pay close attention to the wording. You didn't say what the actual job description for either one is. My point is that at job #1, you have evenings and weekends free to be outside all you want. Lunch time too. Both can be lucrative, landscaping is year round these days. Both will pay travel, one the company puts it out first, the bank you take the breaks on your taxes. I am sure they have expense reports though. Now look to your future. Who has more room for growth within the company, more to the point, who can offer faster advancement? That would be job #1 yet again. In weighing the pros and cons I keep going to job #1, that is the one I would accept. Good luck.
