REPORTERS MYIA AND Catherine give tips on how to balance work and school.

School can cause a great deal of stress. Teachers, homework, and teenage drama can be such a pain that adding a job may seem impossible. School and work are equally important; Falcon Press is here to help you find that balance.

Before obtaining a job:

  • Think about school schedules
  • Think about your reasons for needing one
  • Make a study schedule beforehand
  • If you’re having doubts, consider talking to counselors or family members before making a decision

When committing to a job:

  • Start slowly
  • Learn to do your job efficiently
  • Keep your schoolwork in order
  • Work on time management
  • Never Overwork
  • Put aside time to do homework or complete projects.
