  • my suggestion is if you are going to leave that job have another one set up for you before you quit
  • come up with a plan B.
  • I would try to just work at that job during your available hours. You should try to see if you can schedule your classes in a way that will interfere the least with your job. However, you should put your schooling first. Just tell your boss when you won't be available. He can either fire you or work with you. If your boss doesn't want you to further your education then they obviously aren't concerned with what's best for you. This is pretty common, unfortunately. If he refuses to work with you then just find a part time job somewhere and leave your position with the current company. Make sure you disclose your intended work schedule with your new employer.
  • Only you can figure that one out. It depends on how much you need that job. It depends on how much money you need to live. It depends if you have another job lined up.
  • A) Is he giving you a hard time because he values your time? Or B) Because he might be using this as an excuse to get rid of you? A = Stay B = Leave before he fires your ass
  • Anyway i feel sorry for u,but for me ma suggestion is to try find something to do as early as possible,because he might become a very serious problem in yo life. Any way people are very difficult
  • try to work it out with him and if he is still being hard headed then find another job! Just be %100 sure that you have the other job b4 you got quit!
  • Yes, look elsewhere. I went back to school at 29 to get my MBA. My boss, even though he gave me a recommendation for a MBA program, gave me grief for pushing back on my hours. So I quit (much to his surprise and dismay) to take a steady consulting job that allowed me to focus on my degree. What happened afterwards? I landed my current job as a marketing manager for a division of a Fortune 500 firm. If my old boss would have won and held me back, I'd still be in a dead end job. Remember, odds are your boss doesn't have your long-term growth in mind. That is, of course, an assumption on my part. I might be wrong. Regardless, it's your life and your career. In the end there is one person with your best interests at heart - you.
  • You'll have to make the decision. If you can line up another job with adequate compensation, do so and leave your present job. There are a few companies that support employees advancing their education. To the best of my knowledge one industry that does this is the investor owned electric utility industry.
