Is is possible to work part time (20 hours a week) while attending high school?
I've been looking for a job for almost five months now. I would really love the extra money it would bring in and the experience it would bring, but I'm worried that if I get a job I won't be able to handle both work and school. The class that I'm mostly worried about is Algebra 2, as I have always had trouble in math class. Other than that, my homework load will be moderate.
I don't need the money a job will provide, but it wouldn't hurt either; I would like to pay my own car insurance, my own gas, and my own clothes.
What do you think? Did you work during high school? If so, was it pretty hard? Thank you in advance; I appreciate it!

I'm in high school and have a job. I've been working since the end of my sophomore year and I'll be a senior this year. 20 hours a week won't hurt you. If you have time after school before you have to work, study then. If not, then study after. That's what I always do. Good luck!
