Studying or Working?

I could't wait to be a grown up, now that I am, I wish I could be at home again with mom and dad. I have a full time and part time job, 3 kids, divorced, and am part time in college. It is so hard juggling all of them. I most definitely would pick studying over working, if I had to choose one or the other.

I agree. Whatever u are thinking in the past, has all come true. However we are not happy with it because it means more worries and stress being an adult in the working world. It's only being in the work force, than we realize school life is so relaxed. That's what happens to me too. It's just too bad I'm not someone meant for studies, so I'm willing to slog it out physically. There are times I wish I'm back at school but the thought of books and lessons puts me off immediately.

I would rather study then work. But you need money to have a life so now i'm working for a living. Still struggling with bills etc I'm currently looking for a second job plus school part time. Which I may drop out of and just work 2 jobs. One full and one part time. But idk still gotta think about it..

It's an irony! When we're young, we want to grow up fast and be an adult. But when we're an adult, we hope time rewinds back and we're in youth again! When we're studying, we want to graduate fast and start working. But when we're in the working industry, we want to get back to school and enjoy the life there! To sum up, we'll only look forward to things we don't have nor possess at the moment. Well, for me I am a student like you right now and indeed I feel like working to earn some money for my school fees. But as a student, there's still benefits like you have HOLIDAYS! That's what the working force is not entitled to. It is our privilege as students right now. Of course there's still many other benefits! However I must say money is important to survive especially at times like this. I would recommend seeking out part times or freelance jobs!

It depends. If you are in china or like Japan, or Singapore, you may need to study more and get a higher pay job. But if you are in Australia or in western country, I would like say, it depends on what job you want to do, you want to work for yourself or work in office. If you want to work in office or big company, you may need study to get high qualification so that you can be employed by big company and get a good salary and work from 9:00am to 4:00 pm. But you want to live better and want to start your own business, I would suggest you starting work earlier that the work is related to your career. You can study later when you need it. And earn money earlier, you can invest your money and get more money so that you can expect you don't need work in one future day. Also because you start to work earlier, you have more time to choose which way you want to go, you have more time to try different opportunity.

both....... my personal experience both have to be..... because if you are only studying the day you get to graduate you'll have very few opportunities for employment, I've seen this with all my friends, is better if you have a chance the win experience before you graduate...

In our circle we call those who continue to go to school without actually working toward a degree that will get them a job so that they can pay back whomever has supported them while they studied professional students and freeloaders. Even if your parents don't expect to be paid back, you need to complete your studies, get a job and pay back society by becoming a productive member.

yes i agree studying is bettter then working and if you make good grades that studying will pay off and you will get a great job and wont have to work as hard when it is time for you to work.. or at least you will be able to do something you enjoy.. i remember my college days and i would not trade those days for anything although i did not graduate.. i still have my great memories to cherish.. just remember to always do your best at what your doing and you will go far.. happy mylotting..

You seem to be smarter than the average young person. Most college students don't realize how easy they've got it. Not that college is all that easy, but it's definitely easier than working a job. Most people don't realize it until they are out of school and working for several years and they look back on their school years and wish they were still there. I remind my son of reality every time he starts complaining about having too many hard classes. I ask him how much time he spends in class. Then I ask him how much time he spends studying at home. It never equals the 40+ hours the average working person puts in on a job. Enjoy your time as a student. Soon enough you'll join the ranks of the working world.

i always have the same thought with you, wish that i can always be a kid and never grow up. it is good to be a student where we wouldn't have to face whatever that brings adults so stress. i'm currently studying in university and going to graduated soon. although i hate going out to the outside world, but i have to. i need to get a job so that i can release some of the financial burden in my family. guess that is one of the disadvantages of being an adult, we are forced to do something we don't like or never wish to. but this is what we called 'life' right? i belive things will get better as we face it and try to fix it.

If I can turn back the hands of time, I don't want to pass through again the process of burning the midnight candle just to study piles of books in preparation of never-ending exams in school. The pressure is lesser while working in an office than breaking one's back just to pass through college. Ofcourse, being serious in one's education is one factor that led us to where we are now. It's just that I'm fed up with the pressure and stress in school that I wanted to relax which can be found at work. I'm not saying that working in an office is stress-free. It is but somehow it's controllable.

It is true, I wanted to grow up and start earning quickly and have the freedom. I hated to be bogged down with all the order and commands I used to get from my teachers, parents, seniors. But at present looking at what I missed, I think I missed the brilliant opportunity to be a great personality by continuing my studies. I chose to work. Though I am earning a salary, Still when I see people younger than me being my bosses, it really pains. I would say, choose your aim, start working toward it. If your aim actually could be succeeded via studies, then it is best to ignore the small part-time jobs and focus on excelling in the field you have chosen.

i recently graduated from college and i would really agree, before i wanted to be an adult already now that i am, i want to stay at least one more year, even in the last year of college i couldn't believe i was already so near at the end. i think there's this comfort zone in being a student, although it's hard work studying and keeping grades working is a whole different level. i'm still thinking being a student is better, i don't know a few years from now, probably i still would. haha XD

I love my childhood time, but willing to stay child are impossible. Soon or later we'll grown up to become an adult. I've graduated from college but had a same problem as yours when I'm still studying. My parents wasn't a rich person so they have to struggle just for earning my college payments. That's why I decided to study hard so I can graduate as soon as possible. I've lucky for getting a scholarship which grant me some extra money to pay my college expenses. I may had droped out if I don't have it. I think you must prefer to study than working. After you graduate you can work as much as want so you can earn some cash to support your self and you won't be a burden for your parents anymore.

I have finished almost of my post graduation and now still waiting for my final results. And now the times comes for struggling for jobs. I think it is very worst situation after finishing the study until we get any good jobs. So now I started to search for jobs. And I hope soon I will get a good job.

Student life was the best part of my life. If you like to study and want to earn money at the same time, there is a perfect job for that combination: researcher. You will have to study all your life, that's your work, be sure of that. And researchers can earn good money from their work, but you must be really good in a respective field. I think it is a very interesting job.
