How do you balance Going To School And Working At The Same Time? How did you manage going to school and working all at the same time? Was it difficult, easier, or stressful? I am just curious because I want to work part-time and attend school, but I am not sure if it is a good idea since I have 4 classes this semester. I don't want to mess up my grades or fail a class. But I really need the money. Also, can you provide tips on how to balance this out!
Thanks in advance!

I am answering although I have never been in that situation. There are a smaller group of us now that answer help questions. SO I didn't want you to think it didn't post.
I would jot down the amount of hours of school, then how much typically you need to do any kind of studying at home. You need to come up with a reasonable amount of time on personal stuff to do, which includes your personal care like showers, cooking and eating to household tasks, like doing laundry. Some aren't a daily thing so make a chart of time. Include time you need to sleep, and also down time to go out and have fun sometimes. You will soon see if there are any hours left to even work part-time. If not enough time, ask yourself what you can cut down on, time wise, and be able to make it work. It can help you also to know what hours of the day of your 4 or 5 hr shift you can handle. You may want to work 3 or 4 days, and have an extra work week day just to yourself to catch up on whatever needs doing, like a day for a hair or nails appointments for example. I used to work as a care giver, non medical but for some people who needed help but lived at home,a CNA or something like that was needed with things of a medical nature like checking catheter or changing it. I do not have that training. Is This something you currently do? If not, it may be a possible part time job. You'd have to have a boss willing to use you at times that work for you. This is all I can think of. Hope you get it all figured out. ]
