Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 2

Voicing your goal to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both- work and study- successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

·         Am I an organized person?

·         What kind of study habits do I have?

·         Do I make good use of my available time?

·        Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility- and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.
