I like studying in school, I like the atmosphere in school. I dont like working in the society, but now I have to work, when I have enough money, I will go back to school, maybe study or teach. Which on do you prefer, working or studying in school?

I like studying, gaining the knowledge I need for my profession to be. Though, I don't like not working and having the money I need for my household bills. It is hard for me to find even a part time job to help support finances, be able to do things, and still study. I keep telling myself only another year and all will be fine. (i hope) I have alot of clinicals and labs next semester so I will need to concentrate on those and study to pass, so it will be hard for me to work.
Some can work and study both without being stretched in their studies and sleep. Do you what you like to do best and if can do both, that would be great. good luck to you

I am trying to find a part time position or work study to help support my family while I am taking my labs and clinicals next sememster. I will only have til December 2010 and I should have my Associates in Medical Assisting. I still need gas to get to school, pay utilities, and food. It is going to be tough, but hopefully I will be able to manage and gain help with my son.
I will definitely have to learn time management and get my calendar out for scheduling!!!:))

You still have so romatic idea about life in school. personally i fed up with the life.
I think as students you have many pressure too, also at the time you have no money, you will find the things you can do is very limited.
the life at work period is different. you maybe don't like your present job, but you can change. you make money then you can have more freedom in your life.
To me freedom is most important now. I can afford me to go back school here in the UK, but I choose to escape. Society is the university i prefer now.

Yes, when we were students we have many pressure about the lessons or the points. In school I think the relationship between the students is more purer then the co-workers. If we like science, we will meet many professor in school. But it is true that we can learn more and taste the real life in the society.
