I have a job... but they don't pay me nearly enough for all of the work I do. I have an interview on Saturday for a position offering $18.75... My boss just told me that he is going out of town on next week... Will it be wrong if I get the job to just leave... or should I wait? This job is so stressful and it takes a lot out of me... I don't know what to do... HELP!!!

Unless you are being raped or beaten in the office, you should always give a 2 weeks written notice when you leave a job.
If you are offered the new job, you should feel better just knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel. Your new employer will respect you for giving notice.

Ethically, yes, it would be wrong. I don't know the full situation, but you should never leave a job with out proper notice. When you need to provide proof of employment in the future, you will have to use this employer and you will get a nasty response. Nothing negative has to be said, but when they are asked if you gave proper notice, and they reply "NO", the future employer will worry if you will leave then that way also.
Best to treat them the way you would want an employee to treat you. If you give notice and they let you go that day or the next, just call your new employer and I bet they will allow you to start earlier.
Never burn bridges. You might need then to cross over to another job.
Good luck!

Think about building relationships. If you just leave, there's a possibility they could find out in your new job and then they will think twice about hiring you. Even if they don't find out it is better to end things up in good terms. Communication is what is going to get you ahead; explain to your immediate superior that there is a better job opportunity and that you want to try it out. In that case if the new job doesn't work out at the end there's a better chance for you to comeback to your old one. If they don't allow you to com back at least they will give you a good recommendation for another job. Anybody should be able to understand the need for a better job with a better income and if they don't then they're wrong. Speak out! is your right, and it makes you look good and mature.

If you think you will need to go back there one day then don't burn your bridges. Give them a two weeks notice. If you think that you will not have to return to work there, and you got the job, go for it.
