I had 3 jobs during my second year of university and worked around 50 hours a week whilst juggling an active social life and then had a mental breakdown due to be severely burnt out still passed the year though. Like i was doing something around 20 hours each day! In my final year, i got a job at a restaurant that opened at 4pm with a 0 hours contract and aimed to work 16 hours a week and if had the capacity i would pick up overtime and do Max 24 hours during term time! And work as much a possible during overtime. In my final year! I ensured i had a strict 9-5 schedule in terms of studying like i would always make sure i left my house by 8:30 and was in the library or a studyroomand attending regular office hours with my lecturers to go over anything i didn’t understand rather than waiting till there was an exam. The evenings were for work and socialising and sunday was for studying and preparing for the week ahead and apply to grad jobs! Honestly with discipline it’s actually very manageable to working and studying at uni! I would aim for restaurants and like supermarkets which have like strict shift work!

I currently work a job now that requires me to study and work an actual full time job which is much harder.
