How to Work While Going to School

In everyone's life they come across a time when things are very difficult. If this time is when you are a struggling student who has to work and attend school to make ends meet. Here's advice on how to make it through successfully and be a better person at the end.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Persistance
• Personal Goals
• Individuality
• Heart & Drive
• Someone to talk to

1. Find a job that is flexible with you school schedule.
   
   If you have a job that is understanding and will adapt to you needing different days off due to tests, studying time, or sleep you will succeed better in school. The added stress of working will not be as much to bear if you know that they will work with you to help you succeed.
2. Know your limits.
   
   If you become increasingly tired or cranky, you may need to cut back on hours to become yourself again. If you are steady & comfortable in the position you are in, you are more likely to proceed to graduation & on to greater things.
3. Don't let anyone tell you what you can do.
   
   If you know you can work 40 hours & go to school full time, have time to study, hang out with friends, and still find a smile when your alarm goes off in two hours, than do it. Do whatever you need to do to get through the long college nights & just know you will have to face your own consequences when the time comes.

Tips & Warnings

• Study often & hard
• Find peace where you can
• Don't procrastinate (too much or too often)
