What do I do?

Question

Well I'm in a weird situation... I am a full time law enforcement student and I have an upcoming written entrance test on Saturday morning.. well I got hired by a local job doing part time work, early morning hours. Here's the thing, I start tomorrow morning and my days are Tues-Saturdays, with NO tolerance for absences during the first 30 days.

I tried to explain this to them but they said it wasn't going to acceptable, so I took the job anyway.

Anyway, what do I do in this situation? Of course a police officer position is more important than this part time job.. I don't wanna lose my part time job if I go to take the police test.. etc?

Answer 1

Well, look at the long term implications of your decision. If you want to be a police officer, then a part time job would not be as important as taking the steps to becoming a police officer. If you are even debating this question then maybe you aren't ready to contemplate a policing career at this point.

Answer 2

Why did you take the job when you knew you had an exam on Saturday morning?

You are going to lose the part-time job if you take off to take the police officer position. You aren't going to get the police officer job if you don't take off to take the exam.

I should say you made your choice when you chose the pt job. But I think you are going to take your chances and take the exam ... aren't you.

Answer 3

You have a choice to make. If the exam is more important to you, you should not have taken the job. You can take the test or you can keep the job. You said yourself you knew that going in. No one on Yahoo can change the terms of your employment.

Answer 4

Decide which one fits your long term plans. The answer is obvious to me. Find a different part time job and go to the exam.
