Why? Well I am just not cut out for the job as a stock assistant. All my skills that I enjoy using are hidden putting away huge heavy boxes on shelves in a dark and dank stockroom.

I'm supposed to be doing 2.5 hours a day - yesterday I clocked up 6 hours. That was me working as fast as possible, trying to finish my job so I could get home to my dog (my responsibilty to clear up after him), go over my grandparents and give the car engine a run for a few minutes, book a driving test, sort out my UCAS application for next year etc. etc. I had the store manger breathing down my neck saying we weren't working fast enough.

I'd rather be out serving the public or using the skills I learnt at A-level. Nothing in my Chem/Phys/Bio or maths taught me how to move stuff in a stockroom, although physics taught me how to move it a bit easier in some cases.

That is why I am busy writing up my notice now. I'd rather scrimp and save than work there for another second.

Do you think I'm doing the right thing?

Spose if your not happy with whatyou are doing then yes quit. However i suppose they want you to do varied stuff, you know everyone has to do something they dont like to get to do something they do.

Work your way up or whatever.

Balls in your caught, just dont think it looks good that you quit! Might not help when coming to find another job. If you arent happy with things talk to your Boss! Maybe you could work something out. I did with my boss when i worked.
