Working and studying is never an easy experience particularly when you are a full-time student and taking a course that takes all your time and complete concentration.
I'm not doing it at school since my course provides no time for it, it's either in class, lab or studying. If am to take any Job to complete, it's one I can do in the comfort of my home and deliver weekend tasks.
I had a roommate who was studying and schooling. She was working at a hotel near to my school. The work was causing her to skip courses because her classes were more of early hours, and her department was demanding attendance.
The work was very stressful that she became sick and had to quit. She even had a carry over that year. Picture her course which is not even studious like mine.
Watching her work and school, there's some advice I can give
Get a Job that offers you time
As a student, who wants to work and school, have a job that provides you time to study and attend classes, or else your academics will suffer. There's a possible 3 times job a week or Weekend Jobs.
Identify your student
Letting your employer know you're a student will enable him to alleviate you of certain obligations. I know some people don't like expressing this so they can be hired. But for me, it's best to let your employer know you're a student.
Balance the Both
I still see friends who work and study and still have excellent results and decent money. it's all about balancing the equation. The fact is that one may likely suffer yet they're a method you may be fair to yourself by striking a balance. Set down your academic objectives and working goals also.
Know why you came to school and schedule time for reading and lessons.
There are certainly some lessons that you need not skip since they may be hard to grasp from your friends.
Have a fun filled weekend
