[QUOTE="rmeier8, post: 397691"] Hi, I've been working the Graveyard shift at UPS now for about a year and it's really starting to wear on me. It all started when I graduated high school, I planned to go to the University of Illinois at Chicago to study electrical engineering. At the same time I figured I'd work at UPS early mornings to make some extra cash now I live 20 miles from the UIC campus so I had to take the train everyday and that made things very difficult. I ended Passing my Calculus II class with a B but I couldn't receive the credit because I withdrew from the university from exhaustion and as a result I failed my other two classes, forward to today where I am still working the same shift but am now trying to make up those classes at a community college, I've found that this has not made anything easier and as such I can't afford to continue working but to make matters worse I was offered a p/t sup job doing clerical work in the center office but even though the pay is better the hours are far worse, as it stands now I can barely find the time to study or do homework just because I'm so very tired after work and school. So should I leave? I want to eventually transfer to study nuclear engineering and I can't do that If I don't pass my core engineering curriculum [/QUOTE]
