I need to quit this job...the main reason is I severely don't like it, it's completely not right for me...the other reason is my school schedule has changed, and I possibly can get a job somewhere else (I don't care if I miss a paycheck). Anyway...I want out ASAP. But would the boss think I'm crazy? What do you think he would think? (I'm still in probation).

I would at least give a two week notice with a good explanation as to why. Things change but at least be grown up enough to do it the right way.

Why do you care if the boss "think I'm crazy". It is not like a boss will give you a good reference for quitting after a week and a half.
But if in your shoes I would not burn any bridges and just go have a face to face with your boss telling him that you don't think it is working out and that you are quitting. I would also offer to work a few more days to give him a chance to schedule others to cover your shifts.
You never know when you might run into this guy again, leaving like a man enables you to hold your head high.

Who cares what he thinks. When you are on probation you are considered a at will employee so as easy as you can quit because you just feel the job isn't for you, your boss can fire you just as easy because he/she feels you aren't working out. Don't worry too much about it. It's only been a week and some days so it’s not like you will have to put it on your resume. Just let your boss know that you need to immediately resign from your position due to unexpected conflicts with your school schedule. Let him know that you apologize but school is your first priority. Then bounce out.

He won't think you're crazy, especially if you stress your school schedule as your main reason. What he will think is that he wasted his time and money hiring you. When you talk to him, apologize that you're not able to stay due to your new schedule and for the inconvenience you're causing him. Also explain that your schedule change was not anticipated. You want to leave on as good a note as possible in case you have to use this guy as a reference in the future.

A week and a half is not enough time to evaluate and conclude whether or not you like the job. I remember when I was hired by this company, and on the first day of work, I almost gave up and felt it wasn't fit for me. But I persevered on, giving myself and them a chance. Turned out to be my best career ever. But if you are determined to get out of there, then find another job before you quit. You must have a direction to go and not just act on feelings alone. Just tell your boss that you feel the job is not fit for you and apologize for wasting his time.

I don't understand why it's important what the boss thinks. If you hate the job, you hate the job. I'm sure he's used to early turnover.
I think I'd be sure about the other job, though. Don't quit until you're hired on the second job.

If you quit that soon, he'll probably just think that you got offered a better opportunity from another place that interviewed you before you started at his company. Besides, does it really matter what he thinks? It's not like you'd put the job on your resume, if you were only there for a week and a half.

I say let him know asap so he can find some one who will be productive at the Job.It doe not matter if he think you are crazy or not .people quit after only working a day and sometimes not even that.Try and find a job that will suit you school hrs and that you like.

That's why they call it a probationary period. They're trying to assess whether or not you're right for the job. You're going to make their job easier for them and tell them flat out that you're not.
Do it quickly if you're going to do it. The longer you take to do it is just that much more they're investing in a worker that will never pay dividends. Be polite and explain that you simply don't think the job's a good fit.
Good luck!

that's what the probation period is for - to see if both parties are okay with everything -. Just don't ever list the job on a resume. THAT would hurt you career wise
