I think somebody already asked a question like this, but here I go anyway.
I am about to turn 15 years old in September, and I am in all honors classes this year in highschool. I also want to be in Drama. I was thinking maybe this year I could look for a job. Would that be too much on my plate for one year?
I am also wanting to take tennis lessons and workout after school.
I heard that honors classes hand out alot of homework, but I really want a job because my parents are never willing to pay for certain things, and I dont blame them.
Should I cut down on my after school to-dos?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
do what you want...think of what you really wanna do and than go do it..if ur really devoted to getting a job than go and get one and maby cut down on a few afterschool activites..it might work out(pLeAsE rAtE)

well i think you should try getting a job. but then if at anytime it gets 2 much for you definetly quit the job before anything else.get an easy job that wont ware you out to much and dont get alot of hours.just enough to give you some money.and you might find that the job (depending on what it is) gives you enough of a workout that you wont need to do an extra workout after school.
hope i helped XoXo

I think you should ask yourself if you really need to take tennis lessons, do ya really need to go to drama, do ya really need to get a job?
Ask yourself which one will you get the most out of which one will you enjoy doing? I would just go to school and drama because your 2 young to handle work and it would be 2 much for you. If you wanna raise some money have you ever thought of doing chores to get money or you could have a garage sale etc. That would help you 2. Hope I Helped!

well having a busy schedule will keep you in shape but if you feel like its to much dont take so many hours on you could always have a weekend job you know good luck

Well at 15 there's nto many jobs to get to begin with...but i recomment babysitting, you can turn down jobs if you've got too much work to do that day and it's cash w/o taxes! Good luck!

You should not do too much than you can handle you will be stressed out and very tired.Try to get a job later on when you have time you could get a planner to organize schedules to see when you could workout,take lessons.Think about how you're going to plan it don't do too much work you might not have time to study do your homeworks your schoolwork comes first,studies to get a good career in your future.Get your planning well and straight.

In my opinion, you shouldn't commit yourself to more than you can handle. Once you start your classes, you'll have a better idea of how long it takes you to get all your homework done and how much time it leaves you for other things. There are always the weekends for things like working out and taking tennis lessons. Those don't necessarily have to be done after school. A lot of places won't hire you until you're at least 16 years old, so you might have some trouble finding a job if you're not even 15 yet. Maybe your parents would be more willing to give you money if you helped out with chores around the house. Ask them if they'll give you money for doing things for them; like washing the car, mowing the grass, taking out the trash, walking the dog, etc.

First of all ask you yourself, why are you taking all honors classes? Is because of your parents putting presser on you? Do you want to get in to a good collage, like Yale, or Havre? Of what ever the reason
Second ask yourself can I handle it? Honors Classes, and Drama can be quite demanding, same thing with sports, and working out. Jobs are as well. My I recommended a suggestion. Write down all that you plan to, and how long it will take, try to manage it. If you think you can work it go for it. Many people have had a full plate on there platter during school.
Finely I suggest that you think about what you want to do most, whether it is drama, tennis, school, or whatever. Then do it. You are only a child once, live it! Don’t try to grow up too fast if you don’t have to. Take it from someone who knows, don’t waste your childhood on trying to be adult, you never know what you are missing till it’s gone.
I hope this help you on you life’s Journey. Let me know if I helped you in anyway. An dif you need more questions ask don’t be afraid to ask me.

Wow, you sound just like me. I'm about to start my sophomore year, and I just turned 15. I'm taking a 'zero-hour' class before school, and I have cheerleading after school (all honors for core classes too). I would no way consider having a job in addition to all that, even though I would like to have one. But, if I DID consider it, I would say to get a job where you would only work for a few hours on the weekends.
Trust me, you'll want your down time for relaxing so take advantage of your Saturdays and Sundays. If your up for it, though, get a weekend job. And, if you don't like it, you can always resign, and it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
hope this helps- :)

Hey,
In short, you may want to consider cutting down on your after-school activities. I used to do a few Honors classes plus choir. That took a big time commitment. Honors classes, drama, and work may overwhelm you while you are still young. That being said, some people can handle that sort of strain, but it costs them in other aspects of their lives, such as home life and personal life. If you have a group of friends you are close to, taking on that large of a load may affect your ability to hang out or talk with them. Or if you like to go to bed early, that may as well be out the window. I like to try to call on personal experience when I give advice, so here it goes. When I was 15, after my freshman year, I got my first job as a cashier during the summer. A few months later, I started my sophomore year with 2 honors classes, my new position in choir, and still my job. I definetly struggled to keep my grades up while getting hours during the work week. And my personal life was shot. Ill make this simple. If you think you can handle your time well enough to keep up your grades and get hours at work, do it, if it will please you. At worst, you could just work weekends, which is what i had to do for about 3 months. Few hours, less money, but you will still have some money to spend. Good luck, and as always, email me if you want further help or advice.

My recommendation: Try tutoring!
It would help you study/do homework, and you could charge as well. That way, you'd have money, and not have to worry so much about time.
Be carefull! Don't overload yourself.
