Is it possible to fit a morning paper delivery job, college, and part time job together? Could u do it?
Hi Baddest Dude,


I'm a senior in college at one of the UC campuses, and working just 22 hours per week has been a struggle for me. The tricky part about working that much it is that when you are working more than 30 hours per week (and it sounds like you will be) everything else sort of takes second place. I tried juggling an internship and my job on top of a full time school schedule and I completely choked. I had to drop the internship midway though the quarter because it was too overwhelming.


Because things like studying and doing reading for class aren't mandatory and nobody regulates you, it's very difficult not to lose track not of your priorities. I found myself doing great at work, but then being tired and overwhelmed when it came time to study on my own.


Basically, I would pick either the paper route or the part time job. Just to warn you though, pretty much everyone I've talked to who has a paper route has strongly discouraged me from ever pursuing one. Apparantely the wear and tear on your car, coupled with the incredibly early hours and semi-decent pay aren't worth it. Besides, a part time job would probably offer you the same amount of hours and fewer days per week than a paper route, so you would be better off.


If you are in need of money to help support yourself while you're in school, apply for a FAFSA (federal student aide, all students are eligible). Here's the link:

You should also call your school's financial aide office. All colleges have financial aide departments, so whether you go to a community college, vocational school or a university you should be able to find someone to help you.


Anyways, good luck with everything and I wish you the best.
Reply:You have to be disciplined and hard working and consistent and you can achieve everyhting, wanna know the highly paid jpbs, look for in this link....
Reply:Maybe, but I will say this. If you did it and completed college and kept the job and got the papers delivered on time, you would certainly go to the top of the pile for job applications where I worked.
Reply:Yes, it's absolutely possible. I think it will take a lot of self-discipline, but if you can maintain that, I think it will probably even help you keep better grades too. It will prevent you from getting caught up in all the parties, and that's usually what destroys grades, not working.
Reply:Well, friend, if you need to do that then you can do it easily. There is nothing bad or wrong about it. That is what I think. I was also studying and for some time doing 2 or 3 jobs at the same time.





Wish you all the best!
