<prompt> Human: The owner of my company is an idiot, has the company in massive debt, yet still lives a lavish lifestyle. I just heard finance talking about what bills they can skip this month just so they can make payroll, he just stopped matching our 401K, and is shopping for the least expensive healthcare plan that he can get, which we already pay a ton for, just laid some people off, and Im the lowest person in my department. I currently work in quality control testing on a network analyzer for a small business that makes RF connecting equipment mostly cables that are rated to 67 GHz. I had no experience in this before landing the job but networked in my area, I was a former Electronics Technician and Nuclear Reactor Operator on a Submarine in the US Navy, but got out early due to some family hardship honorable discharge, but cut my time short which bars me from a lot of jobs looking for people with my background. Im currently using the GI Bill to go to school, Im doing a 2 year accelerated evening degree completion program to get a bachelors in computer science and computer security I was previously a physics major in a past life. I just started the program, and have no previous experience with anything in computer science. SO what should I do? Im 31, have a wife in grad school, and a 3 year old son daycare costs blow too. I need to make better money than I currently do, and there is no way that I will get a raise with the current state of my company, but Im not really qualified for a lot yet. I have a lot of debt from my younger dumb college attempts, the bulk of which are private loans and parent plus loans, in the range of 70k. I have no emergency fund, and struggle to pay my bills monthly. I like my current job, but it just isnt sustainable and I fear Ill be terminated soon or the company will fold. I am taking steps to better my situation by going to school, but I have 2 years until it is finished and I am terrified I will be unemployed with nowhere to go. Any guidance or advice is appreciated. Assistant: Update your resume, start applying to stuffHuman: In cases like these, how do you answer the why are out leaving? question?Assistant: He can just tell the truth. I dont see a future in the company that I am in right now. Im looking forward to a future with new companyHuman: I guess part of my question is also what field do I try to work? I want to work in programming, but I am just starting my 2 year program, so will that hurt my employment options if the employer knows that in 2 years I will be looking for a different job?  <response>: Its not necessarily true that you will be leaving in 2 years. You could present your current educational pursuits in a positive light: in 2 years I will be more qualified and able to accept greater responsibilities and contribute even more to your company.
