Just recently i have found a job in a very good company, but at the same time i am at a crucial stage of my academics, i have to complete this last year of professional course in order to get the degree, and this degree would make my career. It is getting really hectic, I have classes from 8 am till 10 am and then i have to go to office at 11 am and come back at 9 pm. I do not get enough time to revise or study the stuff that I studied at the class on the same day.... Any of you facing similar problem? Thanks for your suggestions....

It's like hitting two birds in one stone. You have a job and you got to finish a degree. I'm also a college student, I only have this semester left to finish my degree. Upon enrolling, I was thinking to apply for a part time job. Later on, I have decide not to endure the part time. I decide to focus on my studies. There's a saying you cannot serve two masters at the same time but If you can withstand that you can serve both masters. Since you are now involved and you are already responsible on a job and on your studies, you have to be strong and you have to rest a lot. You need more energy physically and mentally from your class to your work. I'm hoping you can carry both your studies and your job. You are so fortunate to have that opportunity. Just make sure you can handle both and take care yourself! If you think you have to courage then use it for achieving your success! More Power!

Well, I never been in that stage because I prioritize my study and never engage to study and work together because my parents doesn't allow me. If you have determined enough to finished your studies and need to work then you can probably go for it.

Well it's up to you to decide whether you should have two together or you should give up the work for safe. i think that if you can work very hard you can manage your studies and work both together . After you come back to work you can have a few hours to review your homework . And still you can wake up earlier to study.

Hey..its all very simple to handle..but what it will call for is discipline. We tend to go through things without being completely into it. What I 'm referring to is attention. So when you are in class, you need to be complete attentive and completely into it whatever you are learning. You would realize that by doing so, all you need is may30 mins to revise, which I'm sure you can manage. This would also help improve your concentration and balance your personal and work life as well. What you also need to practice is have a control over your thoughts. These things will take care of max of your problems..all the best.

I can't work both. I like to focus on one thing. It make's it more easier to focus on one thing than two. If I do two things at one I get confused easy. It's just better for me to focus on one thing rather than two.
