Would multiple part-time jobs be worth it?
I’m blessed with two part-time jobs now, both in web design/development, along with 3 classes in Berkeley. The things I learned: – If you really like one of your jobs, devote more time to it and put as much effort into it as possible. However, don’t underestimate the “lesser” job(s). Putting yourself into one job too much can limit the scope of your skills – you might be great with dealing with people, but you just might end up dreading working in an office/backroom setting where you could be alone for long stretches of time (I’ve worked in a library before, so I kind of know what it’s like to work there). ‘Course, the latter may not be your cup of tea, but I just think it’s a good idea to be adaptive to any environment. – Manage your time VERY well. Organization is perhaps the biggest factor that determines whether you sail through or break down. Be prepared to have less-than-stellar days or even weeks, when you just don’t have enough sleep or food. Speaking of which… – Eat right. T
