Am I in the wrong in this situation?

So I am 18 years old and work in a bar part time as I am a student. I don’t particularly enjoy working there and I am forced to work late nights which eats into the time I have to focus on my uni work and get assignments done. When I went for this job my boss told me he understood that I was a student and that I wouldn’t be rostered on late. Well I am rostered onto only late nights. I applied for an advertised job at a shoe shop for a Sunday. I thought this way I could work on a Sunday instead of a Saturday and I’d have more time to dedicate to my assignments. My boss had already told me if I didn’t want to work on Saturdays then that’s fine and that he understood. I couldn’t afford to do it without working a different…


So I am 18 years old and work in a bar part time as I am a student. I don’t particularly enjoy working there and I am forced to work late nights which eats into the time I have to focus on my uni work and get assignments done.

I applied for an advertised job at a shoe shop for a Sunday. I thought this way I could work on a Sunday instead of a Saturday and I’d have more time to dedicate to my assignments. My boss had already told me if I didn’t want to work on Saturdays then that’s fine and that he understood. I couldn’t afford to do it without working a different day which my boss is not offering me. I got the job for Sunday today and called my boss about it.

He got angry and told me that I had to work on a Saturday. He changed his mind because I have a second job now and he thinks I’m going to leave. I told him that I am happy to continue working on a Thursday and Friday 10 hours a week as per my contract but he told me that if I only work those days I may as well not work for him at all. I am only contracted to work the Thursday and Friday. Am I in the wrong in this situation?
