Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 5


Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
                           Part 5

Additional Tips
Although working and going to schools 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 a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time 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 plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.
·       Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.
 
              CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
