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 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 thing you might 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 down time to stay happy
and healthy.
Choose the Right!!!
