Balancing high school and a PART-TIME-WORK

Additional tips

Although working and going to school is a challenge, 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 is easy with their support.

·         Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·         Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and working schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·         Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting ion 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 slow periods to do school work.

·         If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your school work with you so that you can work along the way.

·         Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on other things that you like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·         If you have to much on your plate, admit it. Then cutback as needed.

·         Schedule relaxing time. Everybody needs some down time to stay happy and healthy
