<p>How is that working out for you? How many hours do you work? </p>
<p>I am thinking about applying for a 10 hour a week job at the library, and its a year long. And with my 4-5 AP classes, how hard would that be?</p>
<p>I also want to volunteer at the hospital once a week for 3 hours, and at a hospice for 2 hours once a week.</p>
<p>i have no problem and i’m in all AP courses, work about 15 hours a week, give or take. i also do sports and clubs and all that… </p>
<p>I think it depends on what you’re comfortable with, but 10h a week isn’t much.
Personally i’ve found i get my work done faster when im super busy. I dont always give everything 1000%, but tbh i never really did that in the first place. </p>
<p>if you can’t handle doing other things on top of APs you shouldn’t take the APs in the first place. they aren’t designed to be courses that consume all your time, they’re only intro courses.</p>
<p>I also have a job, AP Classes, clubs and varsity sports. It’s actually not that bad at all. A job can really keep you busy which is always a good thing. </p>
<p>Ever since I got my job I got an A in AP Language which is an extremely hard class. Because I get home around 10 pm, I literally have no time to procrastinate on Facebook so I have to get straight to my work. </p>
<p>And I work about 20 hour weeks. The library should be a great place to work because if some days are slow you should be able to sit down with some homework or pull out notecards to study and it is extremely quiet. I work in a restaurant so being able to do homework is extremely rare. </p>
<p>My best advice to you is to do homework wherever you can. If you are sitting in a class where you can basically do whatever, pull out homework for other classes.</p>
<p>Most of my friends are in 5-8 AP/IB classes and manage to juggle them with 15-30 hr/wk jobs. Granted, those with the best GPAs are those closer to the 15 hrs/wk than the 30.</p>
<p>I’m not, but I have a theory (hey, not having a job gives you lots of time to think): Those with jobs and challenging academic schedules recognize when they have time, when they don’t, and know to get things done better and more efficiently. Therefore they are better students because of a lack of time. </p>
<p>Think about it: there is a limit to how much time you can put into high school courses.</p>
<p>^^Seriously? I work 9-12 hours a week and am in 5 AP classes, and I always find myself exhausted by the end of the week. I honestly can’t imagine working 30 hours a week and juggling a bunch of AP’s; that’s kind of ridiculous lol.</p>
<p>Haha…I’m even more pathetic. I’m in 3 AP classes and I work about 10 hrs a week. On top of that, I don’t even have many ECs.</p>
<p>I work at a library as well and have 2 AP classes right now and lots of honors classes. granted, i only work 8 hours a week (because my job is 35 minutes away) but its easy to do.</p>
<p>cool, thats uplifting!
I guess if I can’t take it, I can always drop it at the end of the semester, but I am really motivated to get the college credit and possibly skip a years worth of gen eds.</p>
<p>it better to choose 3 aps with more ec. Im planning to earn 10k by the end of junior year . Which means work 20 hours a week but dunkin donuts is right near my school :). And join national honor society and the student council</p>
<p>i volunteer at the hospital but i dont have a job. I do the volunteering on Fridays from 3:30-6:00</p>
