Question:

--Hi,
Currently I am studying at a CC.
In my opinion, it is more do-able than if you were in high school because at community colleges
The reason being, at CC you can have very, very flexible schedule.
For example: you can take classes on the weekends or at nights.
I can have one class per day, on Mon,Wed,Fri,Sat and even Sun and have two days off completely for work, and all the other days for work instead of the typical high school schedule where you are forced to be in school from 8-3 pm not to mention homework and etc.

I'm thinking of doing both full time so that way I can take less on loans.
Is it do-able ? has anyone tried it?

I'm thinking 15-18 credit hours and 40 hrs of work a week.

It's not really do-able if you're in high school but I feel that college you can move the schedule around where you can take classes almost whenever you want. Not to mention there are online classes as well.

Tell me what you think
Someone told me that I can get a office job/receptionist at a salon.
And that is less physically demanding leaving more energy to study later lol.

Answers:

--Many people do that. It is important to be very well organized.
