Balancing High
School and
Part- Time Work
Part 5
Additional Tips
Although
working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if
you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make
the most of your time:
· Discuss your plans
with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their
support.
· Start slowly; don’t
commit to working a lot of hours immediately
· Avoid time
conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as
possible
· Use your time
efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of
assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no
objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.
· If you commute to
your job on public transportation, bring you schoolwork with you so you can
work along the way.
· Be flexible and
willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d
like to do because of your school and work commitments.
· If you have too much
on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.
· Schedule relaxation
time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.
Choose The Right!!! J
