overnight grocery store clerk
January - September 2019 • Pennington, NJ
What I liked
At first I liked the hours and flexibility of having time during the day but that quickly became a restriction when I noticed I wasn't getting enough sleep. The regular income was nice, even though it never felt like enough.
What I wish was different
I wish the company had worked with me more on my schedualing once school started. They were unflexibile with regards to letting me change my availability to accomodate my class schedule and that was the tie that I decidede to go all in with applying to RU. I was originally planning on working and not trying to take any loans.
Advice
Keep a part time job where you may work about 10 to 15 hours a week to have a small income to be able to rely on but also and more importantly, manage your loans and grants as efficiently as possible. I paid off my car insurance, rent and one credit card saving about 800 dollars for food and gas throughout the semester. (I'm not good at saving...thankfully I have that job). But not having to worry about the majority of my bills through the semester allows me to completely focus on my work. Don't underestimate over planning. Being too prepared is way better than being unprepared.
