T.A.P. Q#439 - I Feel Like I'm Cheating on My Current Employer!
0Dear Experts,
I'm lucky enough to be employed 32 hours a week, and on top of that, I LOVE my job. But unfortunately, it's only marginally related to my dream career path, which I'm not about to give up on. I do want to stay in this position until graduate school.
So I decided to seek out a part-time internship, developing skills I believe will set me apart from my peers when I finally apply to school. It's entirely home-based, and I will in no way compromise my first job for the internship.
I wanted to know what my obligations are to my first job? Should/Must I tell them about the new position? I feel like I'm cheating on them!
