Question

How can one effectively manage being a college student and having a full-time job simultaneously?

Answer 1

I really sympathize with you. You HAVE to get enough sleep, for starters. It can be hard to get classes around your work hours, too. I took out loans for my last two years (EDIT - and didn't work), because it was so hard.. My sister worked her way through in 3 years by taking extra classes, but worked less hours and had NO money to spare.. Good luck.

Answer 2

Most of my friends go to school full-time and have 2 or more full time jobs. It is very difficult to have a social life, and we study in between jobs. Sometimes you have to forego sleep to study. But you have to think; what will benefit you more in the long run? Sleep or studying for another great career. I would like to have 3 different careers when I am finished. I want to be good in all of them!! So, if this question was relating to you and your own personal situation, GOOD LUCK!!! I wish you well!

Answer 3

time management & seeing the light at the end of the tunnel..it's tough, but will be worth it at the end. Also, a little excersise helps a lot..just a walk a few times a week, that sort of thing..give your brain some downtime & don't sacrifice too much sleep

Answer 4

That is tough, I hope you can do it, good luck.

Answer 5

You have to prioritize and have awesome time management. I am a Mom of 2 boys ages 2 and 4, a Teacher, a Wife and a Student. I do not always get to fold the laundry, but at least it's clean.

Answer 6

it's really hard, good luck

Answer 7

It helps to be married, or at least living with a significant other. You can balance the home chores while dealing with the other two responsibilities, and there's less pressure paying the rent.

Answer 8

Don't take full time credits in college. Take evening classes.
