Quitting my Job? Is it worth it?

Question

Hi

I am in a bit of a dilemma.

I moved to USA from India because my Father was not doing well financially, thus I wanted to be independent.

When I moved here I got a job at a Hotel as a Front desk clerk and starting saving money to go to college.

I started college in 2005 at a Community College and transferred in 1.5 years taking 20 units each quarter and working 40 hours a week.

Now, I have transferred to San Jose State University and my Dad's financial situation is a little better.

He has offered to pay for my education and living expenses for the remainder of my graduation(2 more years).

Should I take his money and quit the job OR try and push myself to the limit again like I did at Community College.

Note:My Major is Hotel Mgmt and I currently have the job at the same hotel I started off at but now as a Front Desk Supservisor

I dont want my Dad to feel as if I went abroad to be independent but now he has to run his house in India and in America(for me)?

I do feel an inclination towards taking the money and quitting the job because working 40 hours a week and going to school full time can be very stressful.

ALSO:- These are all Upper Division classes not like Community College
