<p>Is it recommended?
Is there anyone who has done it?
And if so, how was it?</p>
<p>I play a varsity sport and also work approximately 10 hours a week on work study. It’s fine - sometimes it’s a little annoying, but mostly I really didn’t have a problem as long as I balanced my schedule with my academic work.</p>
<p>I work 10-15 hours/week and am fine. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have a heavy workload, but the chances of having a workload large enough to not be able to work 6-10 hours/week as a freshman are pretty slim.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine unless you skip classes to work. I made that mistake first semester (got a D+ in that class). The next semester, I took on more hours but changed my availablity to accomodate all of my classes. Almost got straight-A’s (damn economics) while working about 30 hours a week. I slept on Tuesdays. . . .</p>
<p>Thanks you guys.:)</p>
<p>I worked about 25 hours a week my entire freshman year while in engineering classes, and it honestly wasn’t bad at all. I feel that I would have wasted the time on video games if I hadn’t worked because I didn’t find the classes very demanding. I got pretty big savings now because of it, so it worked out well. </p>
<p>I took… Calc I and II, engineering economics, comp II, chem I, foundations (thesis weed-out), and a few gen eds. If you do what you’re supposed to and keep focused, doing school and working won’t interfere with each other.</p>
<p>It depends on the rigor of your classes. I suggest you not do it if you have a reading/writing intensive workload because a job can be hard, at least it was for me. I did have two jobs in high school though, but I mean, it was high school…</p>
<p>I have a job now working 3-4 days a week and 5 AP classes right now. Does that do me any justice?</p>
