Is it easy to balance work and school at the same time ?

It depends on your time management skills, studying habits, and how many classes you're taking. With enough planning and organization, it's not hard at all. I worked most semesters, as did most of my friends in college, and I'd describe it as easy.

However, I would not recommend taking the maximum number of classes while also trying to work. There's a reason those maximum credit hour limits exist, and it's because it is really hard to take on that much coursework at once while also adding a job on top of that. Not that it isn't possible--I've known several students who've done it. But I just know that they all would describe it as busy and stressful and that they don't want to do it again.

I personally had a hard time juggling both. It took me a long time to get my Bachelor’s Degree. I worked in the morning and attempted classes — but the demand of work always got in the way...I would recommend taking a good look at the job requirements at your work ( if you are working now) — school requirements - family affairs / trips and etc...— you will have to juggle it - if you think you can manage — or have it under control — go for it... just remember to be discipline with the decisions or choices you make. It all takes sacrifice!

It can be easy to balance work and school at the same time. You have to do it. It will be no different than balancing your regular life and work and family/home life. You have to set a schedule and stick to it. Allow yourself time to meet your work load, your studies (homework too) and your home life (laundry will not get done on it's own!)

Finding the balance can be difficult, however compared to balancing when you have a family later, its much easier if you get the education earlier.  You just have to make sure work knows that you are taking classes and during those times when it all conflicts and seems overwhelming know that it will pass and the load will ease in time. 

Time Management is key to successfully managing any part of your life. Taking the time to organize yourself and sticking to the tasks at hand can help you in your every day goals. If you are easily distracted, you should set aside a quiet study place and not try to complete assignements while working. If you find you do not have time in the day to balance both (while still having a personal life), maybe you should lighten the load of one or the other.

Taking on too much can cause anxiety and stress. There are many free online courses and apps for mobile devices to help you balance the two through organization skills and time management.

It can be easy to balance work and school but you need to develop a strategic plan of action and stick to it. For example, I suggest getting a big calendar and for your school assignments highlight them onto the calendar (color coding them) to determine what assignments are most important, etc. This way it will keep you a visual reminder to keep on task. Set aside time to study with out any distractions. Find out what your time bandits are (things that take away time to study) and keep away from them. For example, TV, a noisy place, etc. Suggest being the person in your class to develop a study group (there are strengths in numbers). This way if you happen to miss a class then you have yourself covered without bothering the teacher to give you the notes from the day(s) missed.
