Basically i will be starting uni in around 2-3 weeks time, I currently have a job which i pretty much enjoy but isnt very flexable with hours, Being 20 hours / week minimum in either 5 hour or 10 hour shifts.
Those who have 'been there, done that...' what would you say is the best idea:
* Stay in my current job and try and ballance work vs uni vs social
or
* Finish current job, and find a more flexible one through uni job listings / jobs in and around the uni?
Thanks for any tips

I worked for McCunts once.... Never again :sour: Worst Job imaginable, but hey if you like 12 hour shifts and slave driver managers :thumb: </rant> :banghead:
And with supermarkets, sounds ok... might drop a cv into the local places over the next few days ahead of most other students (or is this what everyone does )
Universities have weekends and Wednesday afternoons free, so you can get around rigid working hours if there's some degree of negotiation with your employer.
Personally I'd stick at your current job, but don't work more than 15-20 hours a week otherwise your studies will seriously suffer.
