My school schedule is fixed so I can't skip class to work. I can work 20 hours a week, which you'd think was great for an employer but it's the exact hours that aren't so great. Evenings I work at a job which pertains to my degree and gaining enough hours to be qualified by the state. However, I'm starting to think I should quit that job because I would be free evenings. I also have another job where I work 3 hours a week (one day) that also pertains to my degree and gaining the state qualification hours, but I want to quit that because it's holding me back.
I really enjoy the jobs that I have right now, but I feel like the hours I put towards them are holding me back from getting a job that would pay more and have more consistency. But at the same time, they pertain to what I want to do after grad next year.
Is it realistic for me to find a "degree" job even though I have yet to graduate? What should I do? I can't find a decent job to pay the bills and it's frustrating.

I work in mental health and also work with children. In order to be qualified by my state to do mental health clinical work without a degree, I need 6,000 hours of direct experience. I've been trying to find a job where I can stay after I graduate but I'm not sure how possible that is in social services/mental health without actually having a degree.
