I understand your situation pretty well. I grew up in an area where not much exists in terms of jobs, and hence, has more or less turned into a "bedroom community" because most people commute to NYC to work. With that said, I'd still try to keep this babysitting job. I used to work in retail and restaurants when I lived where I lived before and on the schedule at the beginning of the week, I would be down for a ton of hours, but places like this easily cut your hours too if business is slow. It's good to have something like this babysitting job to fall back on. It seems pretty flexible, you can probably get some studying done there and the hours are pretty decent. That's the other thing, in retail you often get stuck working crappy hours and if you need to take a lot of time off for school, they often end up giving you even less hours because they see you as someone not committed to the dead-end job. Good luck! It will be great when you can finally put this stuff behind you.
