summer dilema
i am a junior in high school & i just got a job this past november, which i have had for about 21/2 months (it's at a candy store). i really enjoy it & since i am a junior i will be there until i graduate highschool. i am pretty sure (99.99%) i told the owners that i would be home in the summer to work & i am pretty sure that since i am a junior they expect me to be there. however i just heard about this amazing arts program (it's sleep away) at a college for people my age. it is pretty demanding, but i would LOVE to go for theatre. however, it's 5 weeks long...the end of june to the end of july. i don't know if i should even bother auditioning for it, because i think i am expected to work. i know i could just tell them at work that i am going away for 5 weeks & they can't do anything to stop me, but then they may not want me back after july. i want to keep my job for next year too, so i don't know what to do! what would you do in this situation? thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
i think that you should defintly take advantage of this programm and try it, maybe your meant to be the next picasso or valasquez. as for your job explain the situation and point out that (this doesnt have to be completely true) you may want a career in arts and this is a good opportunity. if they still dont want you when you come bac then try appling for a job at your school system, where i live for a 1 month job moving computers(not hard or too much liftin i promise) you get payed about 16 dollars an hour...way better than minimum wage! i hope it works out for ya and good luck with your art school.
hearts,
kiki

First off, ask your boss if you can take those five weeks off. Education always comes before work, which I suspect is why they don't make two-year-olds work and 80-year-olds go to preschool. If they say yes, then good, problem solved. If they say no, go to the art program anyway, and find another job. After all, you are only in high school, so it's not like you depend on this job to get by, right?

ASAP, bring up the situation with your boss/supervisor/whomever is in charge. With such a long time notice, they should be pretty easy with you, and if you work well, they wont want to lose a good worker, and telling them you would love to keep your job for the next year too, im sure they can arrange something for you.
So i suggest you talk to them about it as soon as possible, and work hard and well.
