Is it bad that I rather focus on my education than get a job right now?

I resigned from my job two days because of unfair treatment and most students in the class hates me. It’s hard being an employee on the autism spectrum. They expected more from me and when I screw up, I get scolded harshly. They’re probably glad I’m not there anymore. Frankly I’m just glad to get out of that toxic work environment. I am currently in my second year of college so I’m a sophomore year. I am taking English and Math and I really need to focus on that. I have English three times a day at 4-5:10pm (Mondays Wednesdays andFridays and math two days a week at 6:10-7:05pm (Mondays and Wednesdays). Both live online classes.
At least I won’t have to worry about getting up in the morning for a while. My grandparents support my choice and they rather have me focus on my class than work in a toxic environment and be stress.

Not necessarily, no. I think it’s good to focus on your education as it leads to better job prospects in the future. However, I do recommend you look into part-time or summer internships to gain experience in your field of study. Good qualifications are important, but so is experience nowadays.

@Henal Agree. Also it's good to learn to get along with a wide range of people.

Yeah you did right. But I bet they miss you. Not because they're nice, but because the workload that u did, is on the rest of them now.

@Dan193 No they won’t. My coworkers don’t really like me that much. I won’t miss them but I’ll miss some of the kids

Absolutely focus on your education. You don't have to worry about that job anymore and you will be setting yourself up for good jobs in the future.
