I’m a high school student (senior) who recently got my first job a few weeks ago. I’ve been working since then. Like most people, I never expected this job to be easy. However, it’s very overwhelming and does not work into my schedule well. Between focusing on college stuff, homework/studying, and this job, the job takes up a lot of my time (besides going to school, obviously). I end up not getting home until late at night and have no time to do other things. Time management has not been an issue until I added this job into my life. Now, it’s terribly hard to fit everything into the day. Not only that, but my co-workers have not been helping me out. This isn’t a reason to quit, as people like this are to be expected at any job, but it adds to the unbearableness of work. Lastly, my workplace is too far away from my house (30 minutes), so the hour I take going to and from work could be used for studying, as opposed to if I worked somewhere closer to home.

I do not necessarily want to quit because I’m still new and because maybe I just need to get used to things, but I think it would be easier if I found a job closer to home. Should I quit and find a new job?
