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.

. Void time conflicts by planning your class and work schedule 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.

 . Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on same other things you’d like to do become 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.
