Balancing Work and School

Fiona59 · Jul 1, 2014

Most of us paid for own education. I got $1000 towards mine when I applied for my student loans. Something to do with being a mother returning to the workforce. There really isn't much out there for the over 40 crowd.

Many of my classmates worked during the programme. A couple worked in long term care facilities, some in fast food others in retail. Usually around 12-18 hours a week. They did fine.

It just takes organization and honesty with your employer.

I am confused about what you are asking.

I am confused about what you are asking.

So was I. But I think he's asking if it can be done.

Looking through some of his earlier posts didn't help much either.

I was going to suggest joining the Reserves in a Field Ambulance Unit because he's stated being a military nurse is his dream. Then he said he's applied for Citizenship, so that isn't an option.

I'm sorry if I confused you. I'm just looking for some inputs on how others finish their program while working and studying.

Sorry If I confused you. My thoughts are just not that clear at the moment. But I want some advice on how to balance school and work in order to succeed. I need some ideas from persons who have experienced it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. I work hard and I have the passion to finish whatever I started. I'm just in doubt of myself. The uncertainty is just stressful.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that it can be done or succeed even if you are working and doing school at the same time because I did it.
