Work Requires Flexibility

One of the hardest things to get used to is the lack of time when working. Managers will work you a ton one week, and the next week barely work you at all. It's not that they don't like you; they just didn't need you as much that week for one reason or another. Also, managers don't really care if you hate closing; if that's all your availability really allows for, that's what they'll work you.
With my job, I close almost every single day I work, and I've been there for two years. You learn to get used to it.
The one thing that most people hate about having a job while in school is the fact that they begin to not have a social life. However, you get used to not being able to go out every single time your friends go out. Obligations to work do come first for those of us who are serious about having a job. You may not want to make it your lifelong career, but if you work hard enough, a good recommendation will help you get that job you really do want.
