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 mminutes 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 youd
like to do because of 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!
