[QUOTE="Browneyes68, post: 1917684, member: 60815"] I have a keen sense of smell. I smell bs. First: you mention you're a SENIOR student, which means you've had at least THREE years experience scheduling classes. Class schedules don't magically creep up on you, you choose them in advance. Sniff sniff. Your initial post indicates "All my troubles began when I went back to my University" which would indicate you were already working for UPS THEN returned to school. You now expect HR to accommodate your impending schedule conflict when you knew, in advance, you were going to require certain days off...funny you didn't mention having any study troubles DURING the semester, just during finals week. THEN you have the guts to call your employers days off request unprofessional? UPS didn't become a multi-billion dollar enterprise by making unprofessional decisions time and time again. Please help me understand why you need an entire week off during finals week? You are not going to gain NEW knowledge during this week off, it's finals...you will be tested on the subjects you are supposed to have already studied. So, if YOU held up your end of the bargain, you should have spend the past semester studying if your education truly means anything to you. Like others have posted, get creative, if you truly want an education while you work, you will make the necessary dedications to make it happen. You are correct about school and work, it's not easy; that's why it's called an academic discipline. .because your college degree is designed to take effort and discipline to attain, otherwise you can go online and buy a fake degree to hang on the wall. Best of luck. Study hard, its worth it. p.s: I currently take a full course load of University courses myself towards my degree (I'm also a senior in college) and I'm not having these difficulties.
