Alright, so, my father got me a thirdshift job,working for the company he works for. The job is running and ruining my life. Even though it pays fairly well for a first job and for my age, I don't want to work there anymore. I want my life back. How should I tell my father?

Talk to him. Its important to remember that your father helped you get this job because he cares. I myself have been in a similar situation, and trying to find the easy way out can be tough. He will understand why you need to quit, IF you articulate your reasons to him on terms he will understand. Don't expect him to relate automatically to your circumstances because he is most probably from a different generation that didn't face the same challenges. Be a diplomat of sorts when you try to explain your decision, but be bold enough to stick with your decision. Just be sure that your reasons are mature enough for him to understand. Your dad will always be your dad, be strong.
Good Luck! Hope this helps!

I agree with Micheal S.
I don't like having to work all the hours that I do. I don't always care for being on the midnight shift as I am, talk about killing one's social life, but ya know what? You deal with it. If you are young and have a job that pays well you would be a d*mned fool to walk away from it simply because you want to go and play. I've got news for ya buddy, most people would rather be out playing than hitting the grind stone. Grow up, realize that you aren't a child anymore...and enjoy the free time when you have it.

Your father is trying to teach you responsibility which is good.Unfortunately we all have to do things for money which we don't like. If you can find another job that pays the same or better and is a good shift for you then talk it over with dad. Until that happens stick with it. Eventually(maybe in the company) something will work out for you.

Guess what??? In the adult world a job takes up way to much of your play time. If the work is too hard tell daddy that you're not ready to be a big boy yet. That way you can hang out with the rest of the kids whining about not having anything to do and no money. Besides that, chicks dig guys with jobs.

Very carefully. He's already got a job running his life and apparently making enough to support you.
I don't know how old you are, but you might also consider whether this job has the possibility of switching to days after a while.
I would say stick it out until you have a better job lined up.

Third shift seems harsh if you are young and going to school. If not, why did your Dad find it for you? Did you have something better before? If you are in school, let your Dad know that you need something during the day to accomidate sleep and homework. If you are not in school and you hate the job, find one that pays as good, but with better hours and let your father know you are very grateful for his help but the day time hours work better. If you are just too lazy to work the third shift, thank God and your father that he got you a good paying job and shut up and go to work.

Poor baby. Everybody should have that problem. Go talk to the people in the unemployment line, especially if it pays fairly well for the first time job. If you're that unhappy, go find another one before quitting this one. But make sure your dad can save face. You don't want him to explain to his coworkers that his son is too lazy to work hard, dear.

Just simply tell him...it's sometimes hard to do so but I am quite sure your father only wants you to be happy first and foremost and if this job is ruining your life, then simply tell him in kind words that you no longer want to work there. He's your father, he'll understand.

Take the initiative and go out and get the job that you want. If he is anything like my father was when I got my first job, he just wants you to be responsible. Getting a job on your own will make him proud and you can be more proud of yourself.

Stick with it, but only until you know where and how far you can go / take the company. If you make yourself proud, then those who love you will feel something peacefully or simply happy ( sorry for lack of a better term ) when they are thinking of you.
