First off, thank you guys. Probably my 4th post here, I appreciate any advice.
I'm working at a small financial advising firm, making $22 an hour, working 30 hours a week.
I'm currently working on my masters in finance. At my current pace I will graduate December 2016, doing 10.5 credits next semester and next fall doing 9 credits. If I switch jobs chances are I'll take less classes per semester and graduate Spring 2017.
Here's my dilemma....
I have close to nothing to do at work. It's cool at times (I probably play 5 games of pingpong per day, lots of web surfing & homework), but the lack of satisfaction is getting to me. Should I switch jobs to get some real work experience & probably more pay?
Pros to staying:
$22 an hour
Flexible,flexible, flexible (I can cherry pick the best classes each semester, they will work around me)
close to home (1 mile away)
Doing homework on the job
Cons to staying:
Lack of satisfaction.
Missing opportunity of taking internships (Interns pay $20-22 an hour), these could be good for me to have a taste of different jobs?
No benefits at company
I love the industry I'm in, but again, with no real work, there is no satisfaction in what I'm doing. I feel at times they are employing me just out of pity (They KIND OF need me... at times).
Whats the best thing to do in this scenario? The company is small (4 advisors), I don't see any opportunities in moving up, unless they double in the next 12 months.
