I do understand that some people work and school at the same time because of one problem or the other. It could be that they're the only ones sponsoring their tuition fee or probably they don't have enough hands in the family to pay their tuition fee, or most of the things needed in school are not being provided due to the fact that their parents doesn't have enough money for it.
I will really say that our parents are trying all they can to make sure that we get the best education even when it seems impossible in their sight, they even go a long way to borrow money just to make sure that their kids get educated. It is now left to us to take care of the remaining bills in school, they might look for ways to pay tuition fee but if they can't provide the rest of the bills, you can't blame them because they have actually tried and the best you can do is just to look for a side job.
There are some people in school who doesn't even need to work before they can pay their bills because their parents are financially buoyant, so all their parents needs is for them to concentrate in school and make sure they come out with excellent results. These set of people don't even need to think of how to feed, all they need do is just to be focus but many of them misuse the opportunity given you them.
It all depends on the kind of side job you want to do. If it's an online job, it will be much more easier because you won't have to leave your house to a place that will be time consuming. I'm sure most online work can be done anytime. But for those who doesn't know that they can actually work online and get paid will be looking for daily jobs and this alone may be time demanding. Because all your time and attention will be given to your new job, they might even tell you to resume work as early as 8am and close 6pm except you want to do a night job which is also stressful.
I actually envy those that work and also study at the same time. I still remember a friend who works and school at the same time but she started when she was in year 3. During her first year in school, everything was going smoothly, her dad provided everything she needed till after her year 2, her dad passed away and there was no one to assist her in school bills. She almost dropped out of school but one of her friend introduced her to a job where she has to work evening till like 12am. At first when she started, she couldn't cope, she fell sick on several occasions and wanted to give up but with time she adjusted to work.
She goes to work after school, there was no rest for her, she became very slim but she was determined to finish her education by all means, now she has rounded up with school and she's very happy she never gave up. She's a very brilliant girl, despite her constantly going to work, she always make out time to read her books which wasn't easy for her. I'm very happy everything turned out great for her.
I'm currently in school I never did any side job because everything I needed is being provided by my mom, she has always been my backbone, although the only thing I do now is just to get engaged in online job which is HIVE. I didn't join hive to use it to pay my tuition fee, I only do it because I enjoy what I do.
My advice to those who wants to work and study at the same time include;
If you must work while schooling, know what you want first, if by any means you know the importance of school and as such you want to be a graduate, you must be determined at all cost. Nothing in this life comes in a platter of gold, you will face difficulty on your journey but your determination will be the one to conquer everything.
in the cost of doing both, you also need to focus. Don't give all your attention to work, creat time to also read your books because what's the essence of trying your best to pay your bills but your academy activities is very poor? You have to know how to work with both, that alone will make you succeed.
try your best to make friends with those who knows why they're in school. Not everyone you see in school knows the reasons they came to school. Make friends with someone that will help you whenever you're not within school premises. Those that can help you submit your assignment when you're at work and lot more.
Like I said earlie, working and studying at the same time is very stressful and I really envy those who I find doing such, although it was situation that called for it.
Thanks for reading, see you in my next post..
