Should I get a job while in college or just focus on studies?

[ℓσνє ♡]

Sometimes i feel bad that I dont have a job. I have a horrible school loan debt because I dont have a job to pay for the gas, books, and supplies. I go to school 5 days a week though and I always feel so overwhelmed. Im afraid that if I get a job I will probably suffer. I know people who get jobs while in college though and I wonder how they do it ): Is it so wrong for me to want to focus on studies only?

That's a tough call. School loans can accumulate to become big debts that must be repaid even if you can't find work in your field upon graduation. It is important to earn a high GPA and your dedication to just focus on school is certain to help you there. Do they have any work-study programs at your school where you might just get some reduced costs for a few hours of service? Some colleges offer a stipend for library aides, or bookstore representatives, or tutoring aides.

If you need money get a part-time job. I worked and went to school, but my senior year I quit and focused on getting better grades. It didn't help. I simply had more time to screw around.
