We Are In College People

There are a few individuals in my class that act like High School students.  We are in a Junior/Senior only class in college, so it's not like these are 18 year old freshman.  One guy I swear is almost 30.  We had a test today (Monday) and during our last class on Friday they kept asking her if she would switch the test to Wednesday, and that having a test on Monday wasn't fair since it was right after a weekend.  I was getting annoyed.  Hello people we are in college, a professor is not going to change the test just because you are being annoying and asking her to change it.  They are always talking when she is talking and it seriously gets annoying.  I want to be the "teachers pet" and tell them to be quiet!  Then today when she was handing out the test the "30 year old man" said "will you give us the answers to all the odd questions"!  Who does that in college.  Seriously that is something you ask in Junior High to be funny and annoying.  You can tell she is totally annoyed but she is nice and just smiles and says something clever back to him.  The "30 year old" is one that I have had in a lot of my classes and we all know when "you know who" is in the class.  He says the most off topic, stupid things and we all get so bugged by him.  Luckily I am done this semester with classes, and I will be done seeing him.  

Also while I'm on the topic of being done with school, I've been thinking about jobs.  I know I always have a dilemma with school and /or work.  Right now I'm teaching Good Touch Bad Touch (GTBT) as my job and as my internship.  I go into elementary schools in Cache Valley and teach kids about Sexual Abuse, Bullies, and Stranger Danger.  It is fun and I really like it but it is basically part time and once June comes and school is out, I don't really have anything to do.  BUT there is a job opening at my current place of employment for a Home Visitor/Parent Advocate.  I would go into homes and give parents advice and information on parenting and all sorts of things.  It is a part time position and would start after Thanksgiving.  A few of the girls at work really want me to apply for it.  Here is my dilemma though....
1.  I'm not sure if I really want to go into someones home.  Sometimes people can have nasty/scary homes. 
2. I'm already obligated and have a responsibility to finish doing GTBT and giving my time to that, since I told them I would be around until June.  Both jobs are P/T so I could possibly do both.  I just don't want the GTBT supervisor to think I'm not dedicated to doing GTBT.  
3.  When June comes, it would be really nice to have a job.  GTBT will basically be done so it would be nice to have a job already at the center where I don't have to go searching for something else.  

If I want to do it, I have to turn my resume in by Nov. 15th.  That gives me one week to decide.

I say turn in a resume and just see. A resume isn't a decision. If they offer you the job then you can decide.

Welcome to my world, times 160.

I agree. Fill out the resume, then if you're offered the job, explain the situation and see what they think.

I agree with Sharli, turn it in to see if they would even consider you but if it conflicts with GTBT then I wouldn't do it. Plus, in June all the students leave so I'm SURE you will be able to find a job quickly.

Go for it! GTBT can't think you aren't dedicated to your job just because you get another part time job. Plus going into those nasty/scary homes would just show how much you are really needed.

I agree with what everyone else is saying.
I almost bet you could do them at the same time until June since they are both part-time. I think employers understand that people need full-time jobs so if GTBT finds out you need another part-time job I don't think it will be any reflection on your dedication but just needing more money/hours.
