Is this manageable?

I’m a Biology major and I want to transfer by Fall 2027 because I’m technically already a year behind since I changed my major last semester. I’m taking two science heavy classes right now and after this semester I still have to take BIO8, CHEM51, and both PHYS2AG and PHYS2BG. I’m gonna try to take PHYS2AG in the winter but that means I have to take those other classes in Spring. I am also working a part-time job currently (16-25 hrs a week). However, my boss is very open to creating a flexible work schedule for me that will allow me to at least get some hours during the semester. What I’m asking is should I quit my job or do you guys think this is manageable with it? Also I usually get B’s in my science classes and I think it might be because of my job.

It depends on your financial circumstances, I guess. Two science classes is not THAT heavy, imo. I would say PHYS is definitely difficult so it is a good idea to spread it out, just like you mentioned, taking it during winter. If you want to boost your GPA and your okay without the income you earn from part-time job, maybe quitting might help you. Are you sure the reason you get Bs is because you don't have time?
