I understand that sometimes we have to really cut to the chase on the board to ask a question. But I think the quoted sentence is the essence of your post. Over the last 35 years I have worked for big and small businesses, and been / am a small business owner. Here is my 2 cents worth.
You are not at a place where you want a job, much less a career. You want a paycheck. Small businesses are a real team approach. There is no margin for error. If you told me during the interview process that you were an 8-5 guy, I wouldn’t hire you. If you elected not to tell me that but then started acting that way, within 3 months I would fire you.
You better be able and willing to put in whatever it takes to make your business and yourself successful. My suggestion would be get the night school out of the way. To bring in some $$$ in the interim, go contact all the “rent a temp” companies you can find. There are low expectations on temps. Alternatively apply for a job where anything beyond 8-5 is forbidden, not expected. They are out there. Government and utilities are examples. Then you will be happier and your employer will be happy.
