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 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 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!!!
