So I'm a senior in highschool, and I've been working at this grocery store for 14 months. I am a supervisor for the front end, which is where all the registers and baggers are, so I have a somewhat important place in the company. I generally work 15-20 hours spread out friday-sunday. Recently, however, I've been really dreading work. It gives me anxiety the entire week just thinking about it, and it almost consumes me on nights like this, where I know I have to go to work the next day. I just hate the amount of responsibility I have there, and also the fact that I have been working fridays for the past year and 2 months. I've even talked to my boss about it, and he basically said "Nice try, you're working weekends". After four years of working in highschool and graduating (soon) with a 3.7 GPA, and then planning on entering a rigorous 6-year program for pharmacy starting this fall, am I being lazy for wanting to quit and take the rest of my senior year/summer easy? I have well over $5000 saved up, but I feel guilty for wanting to quit. My parents get extremely mad at me for even thinking about it, but they don't understand how much stress it really brings me. So what should I do?
Focus on your studies. I have worked at grocery stores before. I know it can be a stressful job.
That 6 year pharmacy program will be tough also. As a teenager I can understand you not wanting to work weekends. Maybe you can work something out to be off at least some weekends so you can enjoy yourself more.
15 to 20 hours and you are stressed? You have a long life ahead of you.
