The moment you notice your grades slippin...then you know your taking on too much...or that your not giving your studies their due time.

I admire the people who have to juggle school, work, and possibly kids. It's def doable but you have to realize that your gonna be giving up some if not all of your leisure time for a while...but if you look at it in terms of how little of a time you'll be doing it compared to how long your life is...it ain't that bad.

I did it. It's doable. Just keep yourself very focused and if it's too much..be honest with yourself and let something give.

i work and go to school.. have one year left. it's tough, but u feel great once you see great grades and realize just how focused you are. Now if you aren't doing well, then u need to just work a certain amount of hours...

It's highly possible, but you HAVE to make sure you are focused.

I have friends who work (off campus) and go to school.
Some of them end up focusing on their work more than school, and they end up getting mainly C's and B's.
Or they can't balance the two, and end up messing up both.

Just make sure you are focused and have your priorities straight.
Props to you too, I have a lot of respect for people who balance work and school.

Thanks guys!

Parents was going through bankruptcy and that time, I had to do what I needed to do to help out my family.

Paid for my books and my tuition and practically gave my parents my checks.

I still thank God everyday though for keeping the family together and strong!
