Hey guys, do any of you go to school full time AND work at the same time? or part time student and part time work?
If yes, what do you guys do?
Let's share all the good stuff here.


I go to school full time and usually, I wouldn't work, but I'm in a certain situation where i need to.
Since I have classes until the evening, there's no choice but to get a job during the night time. However, the only night jobs i can think of is working at a cafe, or some bartending job (which i don't have a problem doing by the way). Any suggestions?
Has anyone ever been in this situation? How tiring is it?

yeha I wanna get a job too but I'm too afraid of the effect it could have on my marks. Seems like studyin and being in a relationship take so much time.

I know there is some people they work like 20+ hours a week and study full time and still manage to get As....(I wonder if they have bf or gf ) but I dont think I could.

But I need money though ahhh


so yeah think the best idea is to save during summer! cause with a night job I dont think I could get high mark as I do now...

[YUNA!]

I went to lectures & tutorials M-Thur 8am to 3pm..
and worked PT, but those were back in the days of university.
There were times where I was wondering how I was gonna manage having good marks plus a good work life, and many times I would break down and cry cuz it was too much for me. I finally quit my PT job in my last year of uni, cuz I couldn't take it anymore haha.



Now, after university, it's just FT work.

I work and am a full time student, I work two jobs at the moment actually. I'm able to budget my time all together with school, work, gym, two organization for which I'm an officer for one and in three committees for the other, taking my bro to and from school as well as to and from his bboying activities and still manage to save time(sometimes for my friends)... I am stressed out at times but I hide it super well and my friends/co-workers think I'm stress free. @_@ Man I don't have time for anything else it seems, not even for myself, but I am stopping my weekend job to have time off on the weekends.

My weekday job is a tech. assistant at a lab, it's something like the library, but specifically tailored to meet the needs of students taking a foreign language class, as well as teachers. And my weekend job is at a bath and body works, working as a sale associate.

What do you do in the morning?? Maybe getting a p/t job in the morning is better.

It's not that difficult. I limit my work hours to 20-25 a week (currently at 22/wk) and I just do my homework at work. I'm taking 14 credits this semester so it's not a huge workload either.

[LoH_Ter]

Hmm... I work partime (about 17-20 hrs a week) and go to school full time (15 credits). All my classes are pretty hw and study and reading intensive. I have to make sacrifices. My social life suffers... I barely have any time to hang out with friends. My marks are not as high as they should be... 17-20 hrs of free time to dedicate to school would do wonders. And there's hardly ANY free time, unless you're willing to sacrifice the study time needed to get those really high marks.

Basically, some part of your life is going to suffer. You either

1) go to school, work, and study as much as you did when you didn't have a job to get those high grades---> no free time for yourself---> cranky mood

or

2) go to school, work, study less than you should, have a bit of free time for yourself ---> get marks you're not satisfied with---> stress.

Atleast, thats the case with me. People handle this differently, and some people just work 10 hrs a week or can study at work, but generally it is hard.

I work in the school deli just 2 minutes from my dorm for 5.5 hours a week and 4.5 hours in engineering department doing credential work. I can still manage my time well since I dont have friday classes. I can lay off some stuff for the 3 days weekend. Usually get the the following week worth of class things done in that 3 days and just review it a bit after the lectures. It's not too bad for 10 hours a week and 18 credits load. Manageable. If I really need the time off I can always request a day off from work. I like how school jobs are flexible since they understand college students are stressful.

I got to school full time and work part-time on-campus

If you can, look for a job on-campus. Most of them are very lenient with hours and if you have to miss a day or something they're fine with it.
I work 8 hrs/week. I did more last semester but this semester, i need to really focus on my studies.

[i/boss/top]

2 semesters ago i worked 3 jobs and went to school full time... at first its hectic... but you get used to it after awhile... at least i did.

[erure]

I used to work part time while going to school full time but I quit last quarter and it's been so nice just working on school But I'm poor

[PDURRR]

but would it make it hard to do papers and homework to work on weeknights?
maybe you could find a weekend job...

i'm going to school part time i guess sicne i'm taking 9 units instead of 12 this semester.
trying hard to find a job, because i need the money..

i havent experienced being a fulltime student and working yet
but my last job i worked part time, student part time...horrible job though. so i quit

i'm trying to find a nice office job, or like a student supervisor for a preschool...T___T

[miridia]

i work 15 hours a week. my supervisors know the education is more important than my part-time work so they say that if i ever need a day off to study or something, i can do that. it's work-study but what's semi-lame is that i don't really get to study. i should but i did once and my supervisor was like, 'you should be working.' o__o;; xD so i don't ever study unless i really have nothing to do.

i'm taking 17 credits again this semester so a lot of my time is spent away from my dorm. i work in the daytime (i wish i could work at night but doi, the office doesn't open at night) and i have classes in the daytime too. i want to get a second job to work over weekends because currently, i do nothing on weekends except study and watch movies. lol.

but yeah. people can manage it. i think it's a good experience for college students. it teaches you how to manage time and definitely is good for future reference too. like if you're going out to get a job, employers note how you had a job during college and all that jazz.

Try working a day shift and taking online, weekend evening and hybrid classes instead!

[GO!zilla]

Try working a day shift and taking online, weekend evening and hybrid classes instead!

i actually think hybrid and online courses give you more work and is so much harder to get good grades from my experience.
i've worked ever since i was out of highschool and i regret it because i shouldve focused on studying.

do what im doing, pack ur classes in on two days or four. get a weekend job. all day friday/saturday/sunday will still get you $$
if ur going to complain that ur social life will be in jeopardy, then your struggles aren't a biggy.

[je suis prest]

My social life already suffers from school, so packing my days with work wouldn't make too much of a difference anyway. lol

I'd work on campus, but i think I'll feel a lot more comfortable working somewhere in my neighborhood instead. I'm probably gonna go job hunting tomorrow. cafe's only for now, since they open till late. I'm actually really excited for a job, since I've never had one- I've always wanted to experience it

[halcyondays]

im a full time student working part time, but i work only on the weekends. so basically i have no days off except for school holidays. i'd quit but rite now i need the cash to pay for tuition.

[bonbons]

i go to school full time and work part time, it's not that bad for me. and i don't want to worry my mom too much about spending money so I got the job to support my spending needs =) and it feels good to have money haha

[tasty]

in my first semester of uni i studied full-time and worked 25 hrs/week on average and failed a bunch of subjects. yay.

still studying full-time but cutting down availability for work to only the weekends.

i was earning like, $350/week. now it's going to be about $100-$150 i'm guessing.

[Antz]

i'm a full time student and planning on getting a job.. i honestly don't know how i'm going to handle it. D: i hope it will be okay.

[x kawachi x]

I hate it when my boss makes me work the day before an exam.
By the time i actually start studying, it's already about 10:30pm.
