Being a Fulltime Student and Fulltime Employee
September 26th 2007 15:03
Yes, doing both school and work fulltime can be done. I would not recommend it by any stretch of the imagination, but it can definitely be done.
I have two friends here at school (same age as me) who are fulltime students, as well has carrying fulltime jobs.
However, there are two factors to take into account:
1) Neither of them have kids.
2) They have jobs that let them do homework when they are not busy.
When I was telling them how amazed I am at both of them for this feat, and I don’t know how they ever get anything else done, they both replied the same way: their jobs let them get homework done.
I know that I get lazy whenever I have to do class and work in the same day. Hardly any homework gets done, and I refuse to do dishes or laundry or anything else productive on those days. But those two ladies do classes, work, homework, and probably that other stuff all in one day, all the time.
Ways this is totally feasible if you’re not lazy like me:
1) Find a staff job at the school you would like to attend. This would also get you reduced tuition!
2) Find some place that is relatively quiet, like a bookstore. Bonus: cheaper textbooks!
3) If you have a 9-5 type job, take only night classes that are one day a week, and take four of them. The day you don’t have a class is your homework day.
The first two are similar to what the two ladies I know have done. (The one actually started as a student job, but she saw a staff job had opened up in the department she was working for). I also have met another lady who does have a kid, and I believe she works fulltime as well. She fits into the 2nd one, works at a relatively quiet place (dry cleaners).
As for that third option, I knew a girl who decided to take only night classes because she only wanted one class a day. (This was due to laziness). However, that third option will probably only work if you don’t have kids. If you do have kids, you wouldn’t ever see them using that third option.
Just a little inspiration for those who need their fulltime job, but maybe want to go back to school, and get it done quickly.
