Balancing high school and part-time work

   Part 5

Additional tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·         Discuss your plan with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work 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 school work 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 youd 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.
