Suitable Part-Time Jobs/quitting current one

I get the background noise thing, I wen for a hearing test once because I thought I had some hearing loss not being able to hear people in crowded rooms, that was before Autism was even a thought for me but now a lightbulb has gone off.

As for the job, well done for keeping it up, as others have said maybe look for a supermarket job which should be less noisy, good luck in looking and with your uni course.

You might need to request to work during the night shift when it's quiet however this may backfire because of it then would make your sleep schedule all over the place with college and work.

I actually started an admin job three weeks ago and I'm close to quitting.

The main problems are that I'm finding it difficult because it's boring and tedious.  The other new starters have adapted faster than me because they've done very similar jobs before.  

I find my self daydreaming during the training sessions due to lack of interest and forgetting how to do the various tasks.

Specific examples of problems.

1. Getting used to the company's Intranet.
2. Cloud computing, where files are actually saved or uploaded, computer hard disk or cloud?
3. How to access other people's emails on outlook.
4. The various acts of parliament and legislation.
5. Hundreds and hundreds of pages of instructions.
6. My age, and short term memory problems.
7. I hate talking on the phone, especially leaving messages on an answerphone.

Hi,

It's never easy studying & working but if you're struggling why don't you start looking around now for a less stressful job in the meantime before you leave your current job. That should keep your Mum on board. As for leaving your job, I would imagine you would need to check to make sure you will get paid for all the hours you have worked or if you you have a contract that requires you to give them notice. In other words try not to lose any money by leaving and try to get something else lined up before you leave if possible. 

If you drive, you could deliver pizza or for other food outlets. If not what about packing shelves at the supermarket ? You will usually work by yourself which shouldn't be stressful. Or if you don't mind serving customers, you could do a few shifts at an off-license as they always seem to be looking people. Cleaning firms usually clean schools or offices in the evening too and you'd probably do your own section. You could call them up and ask. Petrol station, Ikea and I think some furniture/sofa shops open late once or twice a week. Have a think what's in your area and start emailing them or calling them up on the phone. You don't always have to wait for jobs to be advertised. 

i suppose also the saying "the biggest enemy in your life is yourself" also rings true, once you beat yourself and your urge to quit, you temper yourself and go through hard stuff but then come out far stronger and more resilient. 

dunno, a admin job maybe but i found admin to be very boring and hardly have anything to do and end up feeling guilty like your taking money for nothing, especially when they have to get rid of actual workers who do stuff too. so admin is pretty easy and stress free aside from the guilt and boredom of not really doing anything.

but personally, i found great growth in beating my desire to quit and holding on, then when i work through things like that it seems to get better and i grow personally from it. i guess thats the same in everything as thats also true for relationships, you have to work through the bad and hang on in there to make it work or so people say, never had any relationship though. my first time forcing myself through my urge to quit and forcing myself to develope and carry on was when i took up martial arts and wanted to quit that many times, some for the social awkwardness and alot for the physical beasting and making me feel sick and faint alot of the time with how hard they pushed your fitness, but i fought the urge to quit that and that changed me for the better and made me able to change alot in life like my laziness and my fussy eating and able to work out all the flaws in my life and eventually get a job and be able to handle it due to how i developed and able to fight around the urge to quit that even going through 15 hour shifts every day to which i later challenged the bosses on and their bad treatment of workers and got changes in the work place due to my new found assertiveness. but yeah, sometimes you need to fight the urge to quit and it can lead to massive changes and developments, but thats a personal thing and your own journey that you may only learn in some other thing you do. 

I'm surprised that you handled it for as long as you have! Fast food is very demanding and highly stressful, and good for you for being able to do it. Yes, you proved that you could earn money for yourself, and yes you were strong enough to handle it for at least 5 months, so don't be too down on yourself. 

It'd suggest that you try to work at a library where it's quieter, or at a retail store where it's less stressful and demanding. I mean, it'll get busy around Christmas time, but it's not crazy all the time.
