So I’m about to start as a freshman in college and I need a job because I’m obviously gonna need money. My concern is, will I still have time for activities and hanging out with friends?
Yes. Studies actually show that students who work ~10 hours a week do better than their non-working peers.
Yes, but like the rest of life, you have to organize your time.
Absolutely.
Just to give you a comparison; high school for me was 35 hrs per week (not including getting to school or homework). Average full-time student does 4-5 classes so 12-15 hrs per week. Add 20 hrs of work, and it’s equivalent to HS.
If you had time for activities and hanging with friends then, you’ll have time now.
@Noteworthy that was a really great comparison, thank you!
