Undergraduate / Finding Balance: The Real Impact of Studying and Working at the Same Time [2]

Working and studying at the same time is a situation many students face, and while it can build discipline and responsibility, it often brings serious challenges. From my perspective, the most concerning effects are mental and physical fatigue. When someone is constantly jumping between job tasks and school assignments, there is barely time left to rest, socialize, or focus fully on either. This can lead to stress, poor performance, and even health problems. I think it's important to recognize personal limits and prioritize quality over quantity. In some cases, reducing hours at work or taking fewer classes might actually lead to better long-term success.
