Should I quit my job?

No, stick it out. It's kind of silly to choose fun over work ethic. Like you said, economy is bad, you're helping your family out, but you just want to have fun. Make yourself stick with it for once. Show yourself you can. And find another way to be happy. Yeah maybe you're busy but you can still find enjoyable things in life. You just need a more positive attitude and outlook on things. You are a very lucky girl.. I'm sure the dozen other girls you beat out would give up a lot for that job. Be appreciative. It's just life. Welcome to adulthood.

Take what you can get in a Recession.

Don't hurt yourself. Sounds like this job makes you put in too many hours while you are in college. The most important thing in college is the grades, and secondly, the social times. You didn't mention how this is affecting your grades. Consider that. If your family needs the money, maybe you need to quit school and keep the job. Eat lunch in the school cafeteria and make some friends that way. Get to know some people on campus anyway and do fun stuff with them. If you quit school, you'll have more time for other things. Maybe you could keep a class or two and make friends there. Pray about all this. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.

Yeah, I feel that way sometimes about my job. On one hand, you shouldn't do anything that you don't have passion for as that's pretty much a soul-sucking way to live. Everyone deserves to live a life where they can be happy doing what they do. BUT, on the other hand what you have to realize is that, unfortunately, there is NEVER going to be a perfect job, perfect relationship, perfect anything out there. As you said, your life has been a series of ups and downs - in a nutshell that IS life. You have to take the good with the bad, and you have to know that no matter what you do or get yourself into, the grass will always look greener "on the other side of the fence". Obviously this is a pretty serious decision so I can't presume to give you an answer one way or the other. So this is what I suggest, make a list of the pros and cons of quitting your job - be honest, and try to get as many as possible. Weigh each one fairly, and then after you step back and look at the whole thing, make your best decision. I'll get you started Pros: - No more stress of having a crappy job. - Have an opportunity to pursue something else you may enjoy - Regain some semblence of a social life Cons: - No more steady income - The possibility of not being able to find a better job right away - Future job interviews may cause you to recall the number of things you've quit, which may not look good So keep going with those, and see what you come up with. And good luck!

I understand you completely. But you aren't being ungrateful just because you don't like your job. Make sure you're thinking about the other's around you and not just yourself. If your parent's are having a hard time like you say, then why not wait until after the holidays, so they don't have to work harder just for you? The newspaper idea sounds really good, though. I hate my job, too. But I think its just because of the management there--it sucks. Don't dwell on how everything sucks. Think of how fortunate you are to have a family, an education, and the opportunity to have a job at all. Others don't have those privileges, but hey--we are in the land of opportunity, its not our fault. Changing your outlook might change the way you feel about things.

All I can say is that if your not happy where you are and can find a new and secure job, QUIT!

Well to tell you the truth it will all boil down to your needs. But you have to really think about this one. With the school issues, I say relax. You don't have to be in a bunch of clubs and in a sorority to have a degree. To me that sounds like it confused you. Try just taking classes and not being in any clubs for the time being. Just so you can prioritize what you really need. For your job I say its up to you on this one. If your family really is struggling then I think you should help them out. Family goes a long way and in the end family ties are stronger than anything. That job at the your school's paper sounds like an incredible opportunity. I can see that you are very good at writing and if you really think that your family could manage if you take that job, take it. You should pursue your dreams. Purse your happiness. But think about it. It all boils down to how much you get paid at both jobs and what makes you happy. Your social life will always recover if you want it to. Remember that nothing is impossible and that if you really really believe that everything will turn out for the best, it will. Nothing is impossible. Hope this helped and everything turns out for the best!

It sounds like you are a spoil little brat! There's a lot of people out there who would do any kind of work (assembly, fast-food, retail, sales) just to have a roof over their head and food to eat.. sounds like money ain't important to u, so u should just quit and find something more exciting to do, maybe try traveling all over the world.

We cant be pick and choose everything all the time unfortunatly, and by the sounds of it, your just going to keep quitting everything until you die. Your there to work, not to socialize remember that. I work as a security officer at weekends, im a carer in the weekdays AND i help out in an office from 5-8 at night because there behind on paper work and there family! and a job needs to be done! You have your extra hours to be social! This sounds like a pretty decent job especialy pay wise and i wouldnt ruin it just because you dont get to speak to your friends when you want to, the only time i would say quit is if you cannot physically do your job anymore. Its somthing to giove some though hun, good luck!
