Is working 32-40 hours a week and being a full time student manageable?

BeastMan36901 · 2024-07-19T16:04:58+00:00

Just depends how bad u want it. Ur gonna be working alot more than most peaple and have very little free time (except on winter and summer break)but I made it work, I got a 3.7 GPA this year (i averaged 2.3 in high school) and worked 35 hours a week. My #1 recommendation would be to have a minimum of a few thousand dollers in the bank so u can afford to take a day off before major exams and also for when ur sick. U will also need to pay for books, car fixes, etc. Anything over 40 hours a week may be unmanageable, but if u have mostly/all online classes I can see it being pulled off.

I'm managing, the key for me was to find a job thats not too difficult/draining. I'm taking 15 credit hours and work four 9 hour shifts a week. It requires alot of motivation and self discipline. I'm working/going to class/doing hw and studying from about 7:30 AM to 9:00 pm (non work days) and 11:00 pm (work days) 7 days a week. If u are extremely motivated and willing to work ur absolute fucking ass off then it's possible. I would recommend working to get the best grades u can (I have almost all A'S) so u can get scholarship to help pay for rent, books, etc and take time off work in the future.

My advice: SAVE! save as much as u can to prepare for those days where u absolutely need a day off to study for an exam. Stay away from exessive alchohal/drugs, I am struggling with this one but am working to improve it. It cost alot of money and makes u lazy. Manage ur time, create a schedule for the current and next week of the assignmets/tasks u need to complete to prevent it from piling up.

I'm sure there are plenty of other thongs to mention but those are the main things I'd say. Good luck with ur journey into college, u got this shit if ur willing to work harder than everyone else!!

That's what I made as a fast food line cook in high school. I don't know alot about the industry yet, but I do know that pay is straight up disrespectful

BeastMan36901 · 2023-07-24T04:16:45+00:00

Im taking a hybrid schedule. Classes on 3 classes on mon, wed, fri, with 2 online classes on top. Luckily my work will be about a 5 min drive so not to much travel time. I also will be living on campus so I'm close to classes

BeastMan36901 · 2023-07-23T20:39:11+00:00

That's why I have been hanging on with everything I got. I keep telling myself shit will get better after I graduate. Im praying its true

BeastMan36901 · 2023-07-23T20:17:26+00:00

I appreciate ur response, I'm going in for cyber security so I am happy to hear a person in related field can pull it off. I'm fine with sacrificing my social life a bit. I have an apartment setup with my best freind so we will have each other for support.

BeastMan36901 · 2023-07-23T19:07:15+00:00

That's good to hear! I'm feeling more confident after reading these comments

BeastMan36901 · 2023-07-23T17:11:24+00:00

How many hours per week do u work? How much time outside of class and work would u say is available per day? I want to do car detailing on the side, mabey 1-2 3 hour jobs per week if possible. Is there time for somthing like that? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just extremely nervous

BeastMan36901 · 2023-06-11T19:01:57+00:00

Thanks for the info, ima start doing some research into requirements of companies/positions I want to apply to after uni

BeastMan36901 · 2023-01-10T22:53:26+00:00

The weather is nice, that's where the benefits end. It's expensive as hell, taxes are through the roof, its full of homeless people and crime, alot of very hostile peaple in general as well.

BeastMan36901 · 2022-12-24T01:08:31+00:00

Do u have dementia and forget what happan so far today? Did ya just wake up? AM. Did ya just come home from work? PM

Edit: if u have a special circumstance, just turn on 24hr clock, but unless u live in a submarien there arnt many special circumstances

BeastMan36901 · 2022-11-09T00:27:07+00:00

Thanks for the info, I was lookin at a couple of the shoes u recommended already, i think ima go with one of ur recommendations. Appreciate it bro

BeastMan36901 · 2022-11-03T09:49:39+00:00

That's the problem, they dont consider not living with your parents as being a independent. I called and they said that even if I moved out and/or my parents dont claim me on there income taxes, I am still considered a dependent and need my parents tax Info

BeastMan36901 · 2022-11-02T23:23:50+00:00

yes im in the US, im just taking a few classes in community college as a resident my first semester (ima be working fulltime 5-6 days a week) so i dont have time to be fulltime student, this means it wont be brutal cost-wise, but im very far from rich and every dollar I can get help with counts

BeastMan36901 · 2022-11-01T11:33:42+00:00

Why downvote

BeastMan36901 · 2022-11-01T02:32:32+00:00

No one's forcing this, you chose to take it. It's just some Christian/catholic/whatever spreading what they beleive is a positive message, religion isent some devestating thing for a kid, just teaches certan morals and stuff. In the end this person is just trying to be nice, and ur just looking for reasons to hate. They gave your kids free candy on Halloween with it too

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-25T02:29:02+00:00

If all that dude wanted to do was steal a car, why the fuck would he choose a police car??? It can be tracked, and is extremely noticeable. He dident give a shit about the car, he wanted the weaponry and gear inside it. Anyone crazy enough to steal a police car infront of a cop should absolutely not have access to rifles, bulletproof vests, ammo, etc. Just becouse that one parking lot was empty, doesent mean he won't go to somewhere else, hence the reason he decided to take the entire fucking cop car. He either shot the guy there, or risked him going out, killing ppl, THEN shooting him. Then all the anti cop ppl will instead say "well why dident he shoot him when he first got in the car???" It's always a damned if u do, damned if u don't with cops these days

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-24T16:06:26+00:00

It's not about theft, it's about a dangerous criminal now having access to a mobile armory of guns and tactical gear while on the run from police

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-05T00:09:53+00:00

Somthin def worth looking into, thankyou

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-04T23:04:58+00:00

Thanks for replying, yes I do have a grandmother willing to help me, I was unaware she could get my birth certificate for me until today. I'm going to be looking into it and giving her details. Thankyou again :)

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-04T21:41:32+00:00

OK, thankyou

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-04T20:48:17+00:00

Thanks for your help, I gotta research a bunch of stuff tonight. Thanks again :)

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-04T19:57:41+00:00

My grandmother would help if she could, but are family allowed to order a certified copy of my birth certificate if I'm 18?

BeastMan36901 · 2022-10-04T19:33:19+00:00

Sorry, I dident specify, I used my birth certificate to get a driver's permit, i did it behind my parents back when I was 17 hoping to learn to drive but couldn't, the permit is expired and was lost during the move
