This will hurt.
The interview went surprisingly well today. I arrived at the office ahead of schedule because it took me less time than I imagined to get there. I tried to drive around and familiarize myself with the area, but I was low on gas and couldn't keep going without wasting it.

Anyways, SBC has to give you time to give adequate leave to your current employer. You just have to know what your current employers require. Do they want two weeks? Is one week sufficient? Then when SBC, or whoever, hires you, you simply go to your boss now and tell them that you've "been offered a full-time, stable position that you simply can't pass up." I'm sure they understand that as a person with a bachelor's degree and who needs to support herself, they won't have you forever. So don't stress out about it. Just word it so that there's no fault. Don't say, "I've found a better job," but that you've "been offered." That's key. Then tell them that you can continue to work the required amount of time you need to after you give notice (generally two weeks), and tell SBC the same thing. That you will need to give your two week notice, but if they can work around your scheduled hours in the meantime, you'd be happy to begin training earlier.
Interviewers and companies know that people need time to leave their current jobs, so they expect that. Don't worry about upsetting them either. As long as you're open about your situation and are following all the rules at both places, you can't be faulted for anything. People will be sad to see you go, but it isn't going to piss them off. And I'm sure SBC is professional enough to conduct interviews enough in advance that they're not going to require you start immediately, even if they'd like you to.

I've given up finding a new job, and I'm just waiting until grad school. I've been doing odd jobs here and there for some extra cash.
