Balancing High school and part time work

Part 5

Additional tips

Although working and going to school challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make most of your time:

Ø Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

Ø Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

Ø Avoid conflicts by planning your class work and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

Ø 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 slow periods to do school work.

Ø If you commute to your job in public transportation, bring your school work with you so you can walk along the way.

Ø Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of school and work commitments.

Ø If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as indeed.

Ø Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy
