Not necessarily. Obviously, your employer worked with your schedule. At one time, I had one full time job and two part time jobs while being the L.C. (#2 guy) for my chapter while we were putting together the final application for our charter.
Right now, I'm in law school, I work full time (don't tell the A.B.A.), volunteer on weekends for the Department of Human Services, and am planning a wedding.
I agree that time management can be done. The thing is that you have to have the different things on your schedule be compatible. If I my job told me I had to be at work to prepare discovery or trial exhibits and that I had to miss one of my classes, something would have to give.
All I'm saying (and others) is that while in college, we're preparing for our future careers. In most cases, the job we're in is doing nothing to accomplish that end. As college students, we must think in terms of our long term best interests. I'm of the opinion that jobs in college are fairly interchangable and if one isn't willing to work with your schedule, you can find another which will. It sounded like the original poster's job was being unreasonable (although, upon further examination, she just needs to learn to make the word "no" a reflex when being asked to take on additional responsibilities at work).
