I recently applied to work in a convenience store near my parents house (16 y/o). Today i got called by the assistant manager asking if i was interested in working night shifts ( 23:00 - 07:00 ) on Friday and Saturday.
I am starting my last year of high school in a week, and do not want work to interfere with my attention and performance. However, this job would obviously mess up my weekend sleep schedule. Also, this would probably the end of any social life, as my weekend would be made up of working in the night and sleeping in the day.
On the other hand, this would give me the opportunity to make more than twice as much as i currently would do at my current job. 16 hours over 8.5 previously and CAD $15.50/hours over $12.50/hour before.( In Quebec, minimum wage is $12.50 and night shifts are paid $15.50 ) Also, i would have the possibility to do homework and study during work, so that would be good.
What i am currently thinking of doing is trying it out for a few weeks, and see how i feel and what effect it has on my week. I currently have basically no expenses except from cycling and the occasional clothing pieces. I have a moped, so transport isn't an issue.
Do any of you guys have any experience working a night job and making it work with school or keeping from disrupting your sleep schedule too much? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: thanks all so much for the replies, it has been very helpful hearing you guys' stories and experiences. I intend on giving the assistant manager a call back tomorrow, letting her know that i will pass. Thank you all again for taking the time to reply, means a lot.
