According to a study by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cew.georgetown.edu\/cew-reports\/workinglearners\/#:~:text=Resources-,Learning%20While%20Earning%3A%20The%20New%20Normal%20finds%20that%20over%20the,of%20working%20learners%20are%20women\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgetown University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, nearly 70% of students work at least one job while in college. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it hard to balance school and work?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Like any challenge, it depends on your situation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to balance a part-time job and college<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will look different than a full-time job. Whether you take night classes while working 40 hours a week, or work weekends as a full-time student, the prospect of balancing work and school can be intimidating. However, there are steps you can take to help you skillfully handle this balancing act.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>1.) Consider Your Goals\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone wondering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to balance school and job<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> requirements should first take stock of their current situation. Write or type out all your current responsibilities at school and work. How many classes are you taking? When in the week are your classes scheduled? How much time do you need to spend on homework and studying? On the employment side, how many hours each week do you currently work? Is your work schedule consistent, or can it change from week to week? How often are you asked to stay late?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all this in front of you, think through what your goals are for both studies and working. The way your balance work and study for school is largely dependent on what your end goal is. Are you a full-time student who just wants some spending money during the year? Don\u2019t fall into the trap of exhausting yourself with a demanding work schedule\u2014your studies must come first. Conversely, are you employed full-time, and taking night classes at the recommendation of your employer? If you find it difficult to complete all your homework while working full-time, you may want to see if they would allow you to complete classwork while on the clock.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to manage your time between work and study <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is largely determined by your motivation for each.

Tension, misunderstandings, and injured pride can result from a failure to communicate. Make sure your professors and employers are aware of your dual priorities. If your work shift starts half an hour after the scheduled end of your class, tell your professor you may need to leave if the class runs long. If you know you have an important exam in a few weeks, tell your manager so they are aware you may need time off to study. Stressors in one area of life often spill over to other areas. By letting your higher-ups know what\u2019s on your plate, and giving them early visibility about any potential conflict, you\u2019ll find that many are understanding and supportive of your endeavors. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f2e92bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f2e92bb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-81f8b4f\" data-id=\"81f8b4f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55c59d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"55c59d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/schedule-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13857\" alt=\"filling out schedule at desk\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/schedule-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/schedule-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/schedule-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/schedule-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/schedule.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eb3a5f3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eb3a5f3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-04eb3ad\" data-id=\"04eb3ad\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66ce279 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66ce279\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>3.) Make a Schedule<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final step in managing your work-school balance is to make a schedule. Many people\u2019s schedule follows a similar format from week to week: they sleep at the same time, eat meals at the same time, and go to class at the same time. If this isn\u2019t the case for you, and your work hours vary from week to week, you still benefit from a schedule more than you may expect.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify Nonnegotiable Time<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a physical or digital calendar, block out times that are nonnegotiable each week. The time and day your classes meet will rarely change<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">put those in. Any shifts that occur consistently from week to week<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for example, if you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work a full day on Fridays<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">add those as well. Any clubs, organizations, or meetings that regularly occur should also be added. Don\u2019t forget to take into consideration travel and\/or driving time. If you drive 30 minutes to get to and from your job, that is a non-negotiable. To the best of your ability, add your current sleep schedule. Though college students are famous for ignoring this advice, try and remember health experts recommend 6-8 hours of sleep each day!<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add Daily Must-Haves<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of this step, you should have a calendar in front of you that is partially filled. From here, fill any gaps with things that are important, but don\u2019t necessarily have a definitive completion time. Meals would fit this category; although essential, their exact timing can be flexible. Getting physical exercise is another important entry. Depending on what you do to stay active, it can be done at various times throughout the week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Block Out Study Sessions<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most relevant and unique to students is studying. Honestly reflect on your previous experiences as a student, as well as estimated study times given by your professor. If you are taking five classes, and each professor recommends taking one hour each week outside of class to study, you will need to find five hours during the course of the week in which to schedule your study times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Flexibility in Mind<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once this is complete, you should have a schedule that is more or less full. What you\u2019ve created is not a cage or a restriction on how you need to spend your time, but a guide. This schedule is your \u2018ideal\u2019 schedule. It\u2019s very likely you\u2019ll never have a week where it is followed exactly. One week, you may need to study longer than you expected. Another week, you may need to pick up someone\u2019s shift at work. These things happen, and you should not feel bound to your ideal schedule if life takes you to different places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a budget, this schedule gives you a framework as you think about your time. This is what makes a weekly schedule useful, even to the person who may work irregular shifts during the week. This schedule gives you the ability to say \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019 when things come up in life. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will you balance the demands of working and studying<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? A schedule gives you the ability to say \u2018yes\u2019 when an event happens on campus during a study session because you know you\u2019ll have the free time later to make it up. A schedule gives you the ability to say \u2018no\u2019 when your boss asks you to stay late because you know that you have no other time in the week to prepare for your midterm exam. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b9e5bfc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b9e5bfc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7e1409\" data-id=\"d7e1409\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9946c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d9946c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2023-11-15T203426.997-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18375\" alt=\"Graduate smiling looking at her UWM Law School degree frame\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2023-11-15T203426.997-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2023-11-15T203426.997-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2023-11-15T203426.997-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2023-11-15T203426.997-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-2023-11-15T203426.997.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a012c84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a012c84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set Yourself Up for Success<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juggling jobs and university classes is a delicate balancing act and you might feel overwhelmed, but by implementing these steps, you\u2019ll be well on your way to both professional and academic success!
