Trying to debate whether next fall if I should keep the job that I currently have:
an on campus job where i sit at a helpdesk in a lab and help people with their computer problems.
I get paid 7.30 an hour and work about 8 hours a week, four 2 hour shifts.
now.. I was thinking about working at UPS over this summer and next fall. If you work there you have to work 4 hours a day, 5 week days a week (so 20 hours) but in turn you get 3000 off of tuition a year, in addition to your $9.00 an hour.
If I were to work at UPS I would get hired now so I could work there over the summer, and if I dont work there, I'll just find another part time job for the summer. im also gonna take a few classes this summer.
So yea, 20 hours a week on weekdays. there are 3 open shifts. 5pm-9pm 10:30pm-2:30am, and 3:30am-7:30am. I would probably take the midnight shift, because I'm up during that time anyway,
and this way i wouldnt have to miss out on activities that go on earlier in the evening.
I wouldnt have class til 11:00 the next day, and I would get out of classes at about 2:00pm.
Someone told me that if I did this, that they thought it wouldnt be possbile to maintain this job, do good on my schoolwork, and have a life at the same time.
I didnt have much of a life at school this year. But honestly I kinda wanna have a life (a social life) and I hope that changes next year. The problem is, i dont know if I will be able to get a social life next year or not, so in the mean time that makes it difficult to make a decision.
