I recently graduated with an accounting degree and have been actively applying for jobs in my field. This week, I have two interviews lined up: one is a second-round interview with a director, and the other is for an accounting position at a hospital. The catch is that I just started a factory job as a production worker, making $15/hour, to cover my bills. My work schedule is from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The first interview is on Tuesday at 3:00 PM, and it takes me about 45 minutes to get there, while the second interview is on Friday at 11:00 AM. I'm hesitant to miss work since I'm still new at this job, but I also don't want to miss out on these opportunities in my chosen field. My boyfriend thinks I should prioritize my current job and focus on earning money, especially since I've been to several interviews already without landing a position. I understand his concern, as I’m a fresh graduate with limited professional experience beyond school projects. However, I feel that I owe it to myself to at least attend the interviews and see where they lead. If I were to ask for advice, should I leave work early to pursue these interviews, or should I focus on keeping my factory job for now?
