Usually I lurk around the threads but I've run into an issue that I would like some advice on. I am in a very similar situation to a couple of recent posters who shared that, like myself, cannot let their employer know that they are in school seeking a new career path. Unfortunately, the university where I have been taking classes only offers O-Chem during the day (both lab and lecture). Thus my dilemma.
Obviously, I need O-Chem in order to fulfill the prereq (and I was an English major...so it's not like I have a previous grade in my back pocket...oh how I wish) but I am married with two small children and my husband and I have an understanding that I would work up until medical school.
I've started looking around at part-time med assistant jobs as an option but there is no promise that I will be able to find a job before next semester. Unfortunately, my current position/career is a full-time situation...or as my boss likes to say "you can go part-time and get paid half the salary but we'll still expect full-time work".
Has anyone else switched from full time work to part time while going through the pre-med process? I know that I will do whatever it takes to make it all work but I know that I cannot be the only person going through or has gone through this. Thanks!
