What do i do? studying starts september - Part time job.

[Dante505]

Hello everyone

Okay so my question to you all is this, I start my studying in September at my local college for 3 years in Mechanical Engineering, its a full time course, and at the moment I have a part time job, 10pm-3am so not the most ideal hours, I'm in training and haven't hit my target yet, I work at UPS as a secondary sorter and I'm not the most physical person in the world so I guess that explains it.But when September arrives, what do i do? do I give up the part time job and focus on my full time studying course (3-4 days a week) or try to handle them both? i don't think ill pass the training on the job so ill probably get let off after the 3 months probation ( Mid September)

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

p.s - The sorting requirements are 1200 pph and closest ive got is 1140 (brother timed me once and i hit 1200 but i dont theyll accept that ) so i dont think ill be at ups for long, also the online test is 1500pph, but do i need to do both the 1200 and 1500 tests? or can i pass on one?

Do you have medical benefits from your other job or from your parents.

 

[Turdferguson]

Is there a question that anyone besides you would be able to answer in all that?

 

[Turdferguson]

Do you have medical benefits from your other job or from your parents.

No I just have it from UPS

 

[reginald95]

why can't you do both?

 

[Dante505]

Do you have medical benefits from your other job or from your parents.

Currently no.


What im trying to say is, is UPS worth giving up (even though i probably wont make it past training) for my education)

why can't you do both?

Because:-

A:- i might not pass training.
B:- The hours wont suit around college.

If you can make the probation I would stay with UPS. For the benefits.

This sounds like a problem @cosmo1 would be good at answering

Mechanical engineering is a good field. If it makes you happy, UPS is absolutely worth giving up for it. Especially if the overnight work might affect your grades. Maybe your college offers work study or assistantship programs that'd cater to your hours.

Go to school, don't be ridiculous

@turdferguson, nah, I chased off a newbie yesterday. That was my quota for the week.

 

[PiedmontSteward]

I did both.

Working and going to school sucks but I wasn't really in a spot to leech off mommy and daddy. It took me a bit longer than it should have, my social life wasn't as "full" as some of the folks that didn't work but I made it happen.

I went to school during the day (typically 8:00/9:00 AM - 2:00 PM) and worked Twilight.

 

[Dante505]

Bump, yeah if i pass probabtion we'll see, sadly cant work twilight as my brother is management there

Just lazy is all

 

[Wally]

Transfer to Twilight shift.

Transfer to Twilight shift.

Didn't make his 30 yet.

 

[Wally]

Didn't make his 30 yet.

I wonder if that would matter? Don't know, can't hurt to try?
