I have been thinking lately what to prioritize. I took up a graduate study course since I was not able to get a part-time job last semester. Now, I am thinking of stopping from my studies and take a part-time job to earn more money and with that I can save more. But my boyfriend keeps on insisting me not to stop from my studies. He told me that I can earn more money and will gain more opportunities once I graduated from my studies.
Have you ever experienced having a hard time making a decision between making extra money and studying?

I always knew thhat when you stop studying it is very hard to start again. So I did not stop until I finished them.

I think I cannot go back to my studies once I stop.

I believe you should stay with your studies just because I know a lot of people who stop going to school or say they'll go back to finish never really go back because they still don't have the money for it or the time for it. If you have the time and can multitask well then do both. I am in college and also have a job and still find time to do online websites for extra cash. It is hard but it has to be done.

@CaseyRoss9966 Thank you so much for the reminder. Are you still working online? Whenever I look for a work online and they ask me money, I don't go for that work anymore.

You are very hardworking. I am also thinking that maybe I can get some online jobs. It will be more flexible but I know online jobs are challenging too.

@annierose yea and there are a lot of scams with working online so you have to be careful. It is hard and stressful with working & studying & going to class but it is worth it and we have to do what we have to do to pay for school.

I did work while I study at the same time but I found it so hard to study and work..If you can afford to study having no work, Then, better study first because you will experience working for a long time of your life than studying

@annierose ..It is ok to be a working student just make sure that work will not be the reason of giving up your studies..Try public schools like Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Manila or Makati they are good

Yaah it depends on u. If u just want to focus on ur study, u can just study. But if u need money, u can try a part time of job. All of ur decision is in your hand.
