I have worked for Pepsi cola for 2 weeks I'm about to quit for educational and financial reasons?

Question

I'm starting to have serious concerns about the Pepsi job. I'm not sure if it will be the right job for me considering the 50-60 hour work week and chiense overtime. Anything over 40 hours is half time 3.25/hr. This job will make it impossible for me or Amber to persue an education. She needs five more classes and I need four more classes before we can apply for nursing school. Due to plant closures in Batesville they will be accepting 75 students for nusing school instead of 20. Four of the six drivers working for Pepsi only bring home $400 to $450 a week. The most I will make in a month is $1800. I have been successful bringing home $1000 a month and recieving $1100 in government benefits. This method also allowed me the go to college free and have plenty of time to spend with the family. These past couple of weeks working for pepsi I have been getting in at 5:30 to 6:00PM. It seems to me that this job might just be alot more back breaking work and finacial struggle.

Answer 1

So what's your point?  You don't need our permission to quit.

Go take those classes, and go to nursing school.  Nurses are in demand, when you graduate you will be able to make more than the pepsi cola route pays.

Answer 2

I was browsing questions and I came across yours.  I'm sorry, I do not have an answer to your question, but I was curious when you said you received government benefits.  What kind?  I am a 21 year old student, who came home in the middle of the semester to take care of my mom and suddenly im responsible for the whole semester that i got no credit for!  i need some aid in paying the school back!  I owe them 7k, which isn't alot, but i dont want to get more behind in school.  they won't transfer my credits.  How were you able to go to school for free?! im just curious and super frustrated!
