I would go talk to the manager, see what is going on and tell her what you were expecting and what has happened and if she or the other manager(s) want your help in the future, it behooves them to play well with you!

Why not do some work and some school, see if it is for you. I got my first degree at a regular college and my second, online. The online stuff is way more interesting to me, not having to "go" and sit and be so lock-step. What are you thinking of studying?
