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 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
school work.
·
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 plat, admit it. Then cut
back as needed.
·
Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime
to stay happy and healthy.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
