Answer
I am going to assume you have the 2.2 2.5 engine family inline 4 cyl. I have one of these for sale right now 1990 Acclaim turbo 2.5. These engines are known for head gasket failures. I also had to change the fan switch to a manual one I control in the car. For reference Carquest sold me a gasket for 40 bucks and it was a days work changing the gasket. Check your metal coolant hoses for leaking also. Another little check is loosen the rad cap so it makes no pressure in the system and see if the over heat goes away then you have more proof the head gasket took early retirement. These motors are iron block aluminum head configuration overheating is very very bad news for aluminum parts. Warpage must be checked while the head is off.

Answer
right now u should b more looking at benefits and areas as at some point u may wanna relocate and still have a job. napa is almost everywhere as well as autozones. health benefits are worth a lot compared 2 just regular pay.
if pay is more of ur interest try calling each and asking them what they pay 2 start. they will tell u but in most cases i'm betting just over minimum.
keep in mind if ur pregnant u may havta lift a certain weight while working there as they sell heavy parts as well as light ones, and u don't wanna endanger ur pregnancy, but most will 'notice' ur 'happy news' and help u out by carrying the heavier stuff 4 u.
anything i can help u with with auto parts stores, don't hesitate 2 e-mail and ask. i worked at a napa store for about 3yrs and at a carquest store for about 2 1/2 first as a delivery driver/counterperson to full counterman.
r u ok?
