So if you read my blog or know me at all then you know that I just graduated Dental Assisting School in May and am starting Dental Hygiene School in the fall. It is very expensive and as much as DJ and I tried to prepare we just didn't save enough money and the loans they are offering me wont even cover my instruments. (Which still leaves tuition, books, supplies, etc.)
I am trying to get a second job on campus at the local library working nights. That really disappoints me because I like to go to yoga, body pump, pilates and more at the local gym. I have my "gym buddies" there and my life would be forever changed if I didn't get to see them on a regular basis. But I have to do what I have to do to pay for school and keep us "afloat" if you catch my drift.
I can't decide if I would wanna leave my job in the HR/Payroll office (I have worked here almost 2 years) because they are lowering my pay by almost $1 because since I'm a Henderson student they pay their student less even though I will still be working on the WKCTC campus. (It was a shock for me, trust me) I'm just am having a hard time because I don't wanna be doing the same job, making $1 less than everyone else on this campus. Over the 2 semesters I would lose $400 or have theoretically worked 45 hours with no pay from this $1 shortage. When I figured that out it really was like oh gosh, I don't know if I wanna do that.
But if I got a job outside of school, I would have to stand and wait on customers probably and wouldn't be able to do my homework or ask off for school at the last minute. If I hated the outside job and quit, I would be out of luck. But with this job on campus it's through next May so that's more of a secure job. I am definitely comparing pros and cons of the whole situation but I don't have much time to decide.
If anyone has any advice for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Keep your eye posted for jobs at the college. You have gained lots of experience!!! If you could get a full-time job, you could have lots of your college paid for (although I don't know if it would fit your schedule).DO LOTS OF PRAYING, because I KNOW things will fall into place if it's within God's plan for you. In the meantime, I'm saying lots prayers for you :D
