How hard is it to balance school and work?

I did the same when I was in college, and while it is not easy, it is definitely something that can be done. My best advice would be to focus on time management. Look at your work and school schedules and see where you can best plan completing school work. Set a plan weekly and schedule it out, and of course you have to balance personal life too so consider that as well. Keep to your schedule as best you can, because of course things will come up and you will have to make adjustments on the fly. Prioritize what needs to be done first so it does not get you behind. Best of luck, you got this!

It all depends the type of work and your school load. A part time job is less stressful then a full time job. But the keyword is balance! If you have to work for your lively hood then don’t take a lot of hours so you can maintain your grades.

Balancing school and work can be tough, but if you stay focused, manage your time, and always keep the end result in mind it will be manageable. You will also realize that you can do so much when you push yourself.

It can be tough but it's about scheduling time for school. Time management is the key.

Balancing school and work helps pull out strengths you would not know you have. I balanced school and work, and this was a time that humbled me. You have more Great days than bad ones. In the end, you get what you put in. Hard work brings rewards.

I had to do this throughout school. It isn’t easy, but it is manageable as long as you are organized! My best advice is to make sure that you don’t overload yourself. We want to make sure you don’t burn out.😉

Great question! It really can be a balancing act between work, school and life on general. Depending on availability I've seen people try to set there school schedule to a couple days a week if possible leaving the rest of the week for work. It comes down to managing your time for both along with finding some time for yourself/family.

As with anything worth having l, it takes planning and discipline. The planning starts before the semester when you strategically plan out your classes to allow for time to have a job. For example taking 4 classes Mon, Wed and Fri and 1 class on Tues and Thurs will free you up to work and have time to study. Utilizing this technique allowed me to carry a full load and work some hours to put extra cash in my pocket Try not to overload yourself and if you find you are, get help from your teachers. That's what they are there for. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Good luck!

I personally, earned my degree while working full-time. Not only that, I had just given birth to my daughter when I took my finals for my associates degree. Then I started back up towards my bachelor's degree I was pregnant with my second son. I was also hospitalized for an infection within my body and had to have surgery. All while passing my courses. I did not end up with the best GPA, but I completed my degree and can speak to all of those adversities. I currently work 50-60 hours a week, I have three children 6 and younger and I am going back to school this fall to get my Masters Degree! Take it one course at a time if it's easier for you. It's not a sprint, but a marathon! Knowing what I have been through, just working and going to school is especially manageable if you prioritize your time and set realistic goals for yourself! Don't settle and continue to push yourself to the next level!

Scheduling is going to be key. If you have the opportunity to work part time while attending school, you can put more hours into studying versus cramming information, but it can be done. School is about retaining information for your life and career not just the grade!

On intelligent.com it recommends that full time college students plan on spending 30 hours a week studying! Add your class times to this and you have a full time job! I would not recommend working and going to college unless it's a necessity! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.intelligent.com/manage-your-time/&ved=2ahUKEwiyk5fd3O3cAhWuVt8KHUHsBh8QFjABegQICxAE&usg=AOvVaw0InBJ9MpviHq0QGHByG46D

It's all about time management, schedule time for school outside of week and stick to your schedule.
