A little job advice

So I'm looking to leave my current job at the bank. I have what appears to be 3 sure fire job offers I can choose from:
1) Casino here in BR- probably $30-40k/year (havent discussed $$ yet), great benefits or so I am told. Solid room for growth.
2) Assistant leasing manager with a local BR apartment complex. I'm guessing $24-30k a year with likely a generous room stipend. Probably pretty average benefits.
3) Multi-Service banker in Hammond. Probably 20-22k a year and would require a move to Hammond. Decent benefits. Steady room for growth, but I'm not crazy about the industry.
I'm 24, live in Baton Rouge, don't have a wife or kids, and am basically broke. The casino seems most appealing, but does anyone have any general (or specific) advice to share?

Wow, 22k/year for a MSB? Sounds like you're with WB. That's surprisingly low.

Get a job as a roughneck.

Lowest amount of money, industry you don't like and a relocation...doesn't seem like you're really even considering this.
Sounds like 1, 2 and 3 (in that order). 1 & 2 sound like they will be roughly the same pay (after the stipend) but you say working at the casino appeals to you.
What would you be doing at the casino?

what are your qualifications? what do you really want to do?
You are young, no family now is the time to make the correct vocation change- not just get a job

The casino I worked for when I first got out of college (Sam's Town S'port) had pretty incredible benefits- something like $40-50/month for a $20 copay and 0 deductible. But depending on the job, plan on working half the major holidays and definitely New Year's Eve every year.
The casino business is very cut throat- I realized after 2 years that I did not want to be in an industry like that and I got out.

If your degree didn't really get you anywhere, consider something with on the job training. Several people I know like the insurance business. My dad dropped out of law school and wound up in financial planning, though he did have to go through some extra training and certification.
