Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
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. Everyone
needs some down time to stay happy and healthy
Choose the Right!!!!
