You should simply return jobsFinished.

To be clear:

public boolean runAJob()
        {
            boolean jobsFinished = false;
            Job firstJob = getCurrentJob();
            String jobName = firstJob.getName();
            int jobDuration = firstJob.getDuration();
            if (!myJob.isEmpty()&& jobDuration > 0 && jobDuration <= myTotalDuration)
            { 
                 myTotalDuration -= jobDuration;
                 myFinishedJobs.add(myJob.get(0));
                 myJob.remove(0);
                 System.out.println("'"+jobName+"'" +" is completed. "+ myTotalDuration+ " seconds remaining on the clock");
                 jobsFinished = true;
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("JobQueue is empty");
            }
            return jobsFinished;
        }
