I want to quit my job?

Question

I’m 17. I don’t need to work, I got a job to make a little extra money. I work at target. It’s a good easy job but I just hate working. I want to go to college full time instead. I feel under appreciated and useless while working there. I’m not making any friends there. I just hate this. I don’t feel like I should have to work this early in my life. I’m not ready too. I want to have fun while I still can and this is just in the way. I really dont need to work. My dad will pay for my school, and his G.I. Bill that he gave me will cover the last two years. After college I’ll just join the military like my dad did. That’s what I want to do. I don’t want to be a cashier at target worrying about wether the team leader heard me recommend that you can save 5% with the red card.

80% of American college students work at least 20 hrs/week while attending school. Many kids start earning & saving for college by age 12-14, doing "typical teen" babysitting, & snow shoveling & such since they are too young to get a job. You're lazy - unless you're premed doing volunteer/charity work & shadowing, etc, plus spending 80 hrs/week on school & studying.

If you don't like working at Target, start applying for jobs elsewhere. Often it depends on your grades and/or connections what kind of job you can get. My niece has a part time job at the university's police department doing office work. She got the job through her parents' connections. When I worked at a bank, there were a couple of high school students working part time as tellers or in the back office. 
Think about what you enjoy doing and try to match it to a job. This is not about money or needing money or needing to work. It's about not settling, not giving up.
