I'm in a spot, and looking for opinions
There is no way I am NOT going to Kumoricon.
However, I am in desperate need of a job.
Recently my father put doubts in my head if I got hired for part-time over the summer (though not JUST for summer, but part-time carrying into the school year) that they wouldn't let me have the dates off for Kumoricon, and then if they didn't I would have to quit to go, which I don't want to do, but I wouldn't miss K-con though, so I don't even want to put myself in that situation.
There's the option of just looking for summer work, but I really am after a part-time job, as I plan to go part-time school next year just to build up my art portfolio and start getting ready to transfer, while holding down a job. I also don't want to take out any loans, but rather pay from my job's money and start paying off some student loan interest. Plus, I need to help my family a bit by paying some rent.
So I could look for a job after Kumoricon, or start putting in applications sometime closer to the end of August saying I can start work the day after the con, but not as many places will be hiring since summer would be ending, but I'm wondering if this even matters since I want part-time anyways and not just a summer job, though the summer job could lead to part-time. Plus it would only give me a month to land a job before school starts (My college starts at the very end of September, near the beginning of October) and then I would need to apply for part-time loans as a back up just in case.
So if you were in my situation, and not going to K-con is not an option, what would you do?
