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:
v Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of
school and work is easier with their support.
v Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours
immediately.
v Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules
as far ahead of time as possible.
v Use your time efficiently. You 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
schoolwork.
v If you commute to your
job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work
along the way.
v Be flexible & willing to make sacrifices. You may have to
cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school &
work commitments.
v If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as
needed.
v Schedule relaxation. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy
and healthy.
