At some point - likely when I get my truck paid off, I'll try to find a job that is flexible with college students and one that will allow me to pick up some skills so that I can get a more normal schedule. But I plan on staying with my current company until my truck is paid for. Also the longer you stay at one company, the more likely you are to get hired at a better job because time means you'll stay and that you are a good worker. But the more frequently you change jobs just because you don't like them, the harder it becomes to find a job you'll like because it means you can't keep a job no longer than just a few months. The hiring manager sees it as "Why put all this time and effort into training someone that probably won't stay that long anyway?"

My mom always told me that which was why I stayed at Jack in the Box from 15 years old to 20 years old despite the fact I hated working there.
