And it kind of sounds like to me, that you're afraid of something bigger, that you see any change in your relationship/life as a bad thing. Its not. As long as he can create a healthy balance between time with you and his job, then he's not doing anything wrong, he's just living his life, with you, while doing something important.
If he's ignoring you and spending all his time doing something else, then you can complain, but until then, I would just say find something to do, while he's doing that. Are you social? Go out! Have a friend over. Read a book. Volunteer. Work, if you're not.

Sorry to be harsh, but somebody has to say it. The world doesn't revolve around you. Conditions change and you have to adapt.
The guy has a job so he can earn money to spend on you and you are complaining about it. Amazing. What are you going to do when you get married and your husband has to work 8-5 everyday? [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]

I'm used to seeing him everyday, now I'll be lucky to see him every two weeks. Be thankful with the time that you have, and also appreciate the fact that he is being responsible and making money. I'm sure he'll use some of it to take you on dates or get you something nice.
MissYMelisS answered Saturday June 18 2011, 10:01 pm: Its actually a really good thing your boyfriend got a job. It shows hes responsible and prepared to be a hard worker.
It also means the time you get to spend with him now is more precious then the time you got to spend with him previously.
I wouldn't be upset with him having a job, it really is an important step in everyone's life. Your going to have to get a job eventually as well. You cant go your whole life spending every minute with the person your with, constantly talking to them on the phone or texting or in person. One day when your married your both going to have responsibilities and your not going to be around each other all the time. Might as well get used to it now.
