Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 5
Additional
Tips
Although
working and going to school is challenging, it can be 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 some 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!!!
