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 it 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 your 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!
