I’m trying to decide whether or not I should take a part time job my senior year of high school. Reason being because I plan on going out -of-state for college and really want to save up money. I will be taking 3 AP classes–AP Macro, AP Comparative/AP Gov, and I’m trying to decide between AP Environmental Science or AP Chem. I will also be taking 4 dual-enrollment college courses (per semester) at a community college. I’m used to taking 2 AP classes and honestly I had a lot of time on my hands with just 2, too much time it made me procrastinate. I also have experience with taking 3 Dual-enrollment college classes. My Senior class load is just enough for me, but I’m decisive on whether I should continue my summer job at Panera into the school year. I would only work 3 times a week–Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. My current GPA is 3.85, and I’d like to maintain it above a 3.75. Any advice from those who have been in a similar position?
P.S. Should I take AP Chem or AP Environmental Science? When it comes to math, I usually have to study at least 1 or 2 hours a day in order to understand the concept. Plus, I’ve taken Chemistry honors and passed with a solid A. Not sure if that is an indicator on my aptitude for my AP Chem performance.
