Should I quit my job?

Asked by Wine (641points) December 13th, 2013

As much as I love working while in school and watching my savings account grow, I’m not too sure if the retail store I work at now is worth it anymore.

I originally applied because I wasn’t taking summer classes and I didn’t want an unproductive summer while my parents are paying for my rent.

Pros: I love the people I work with, I feel like I’m a good “fit” for the store so I’m happy whenever I work
Cons: Minimum wage is lower than where the city I live in, it takes me 45 minutes one way via lightrail/bus, management doesn’t seem like a very solid team

I was fine with this until I got a rejection when trying to update my availability. Because I’m a full time student and I work most weekends, I haven’t been able to visit my family at home for several months now. I was planning on changing my availability from all throughout the week other than when I have class to sunday-wednesday. I planned on staying home over break unless they scheduled me and sunday-wednesday is the only way to do both of these because my dad commutes and I can carpool with him. But now that they rejected my request I’m not sure if I’m willing to cut family time for this job.
