Balancing High School Part-Time Part 2

Voicing you goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both—work and study—successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

v  

Am I am organize person ?

v  What kind of study habits do I have?

v  Do I make a good use of my available time ?

v  Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part time job?

     Think about the pros and the cons of working. On the plus side, a job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility- and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, a job can cut into the times you have for sleeping, studying, and socializing.
