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 you time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes
waiting in 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 relaxation
to stay happy and healthy.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!
