Hi mylotters! I love making money since I was still at the university. As a consequence, I sometimes found it hard to divide time between study and work, and I took night classes so that I could work in the morning. I was also sooo busy working that my grades were going down and it took me 6 years at the uni! Sometimes, I regret this, but sometimes I feel lucky that I could make my own money since long long time ago. There was no money problem at that time, it was just me who wanted to have my own money and to get different experience from study life. So mylotters, do you think we should finish our study first then work, or do you prefer doing both in the same time. Please share to me what you think :) Thanks!

i used to work at night in one of the callcenter here in my country and at the same time took up my 2nd course in the morning.. and only sleep like 3-4 hours everyday... i only have total rest day during sat and sun... and i sleep the whole day during those time... thats why i really dont believe those who said that they are not able to finished college due to puberty or that their parents cant support them and etc... well it really depends to you.. if you really have an ambition in life then try to sacrifice your time.. besides it will not take forever... if you choose a four years course then you just sacrifice 4 to 5 years of working so hard for atleast after that you will have a good job with higher or better salary... than be contented with a low paying job all your life... if you think others can do it then of course you can do it... just believe in yourself and always ask GOD for guidance and you can accomplish things you cant imagine..

i think is better to make your own business and become entrepreneur, so you can manage your time for study and make some money

It is a very difficult task working and at the same time studying,but i dont have choice either, since I was a student worker that time, I work inthe morning and going to school at night. Yes its very difficult to devide the time, I sleep late at night because I need to finish all the chores I left in the morning at night when I am home. But I need to work hard for my future. So I work hard and study at night.Now I just contented because I met the dream of what I am dreaming of. When we work hard and have self determination all of our dreams will come true. Just have faith, hope and strong self determination and the product is success in life.

i understand your situation. if you can afford of course you should use your most of time to study. however our life is not so ideal. sometimes we need to work then we can afford the professioanl fee. if i were you i would do both same time, but i will try to connect the work with my major. so when i work it's a kind of practice what i study. it can help my study and make money at the same time. if i can not find a job that involves with my study, so i will try my best to do the job, at least i can get some experience how to deal with people, it will help me in the future too. the most important i will know how difficult to make money in the world. So i will work hard and study hard to get my life better. in fact i did do similar things when i was in university. worked to make money then i can complete my study. the life was difficult but also meaningful.

Working with studies gets very tiresome sometimes. It gets difficuly sometimes to even concentrate on studies de to the pressures at work. Some people stop their studies midway just because they have startede earning. Beso Of luck to those all.
