Although working and going to school is challenging, ir 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 down time 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 as needed.
§ Schedule
relaxation time. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy and healthy.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!
