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
