First real job whilst studying

First real job whilst studying

I recently started working casually whilst studying online with TAFE (the job is conditional on the basis that I complete my Certificate III while working with them.

I love working there, but the job has been full-on (seven to nine and half hours a day) and I am being called in four days a week, plus I have other commitments such as family and babysitting (I babysit and tutor as well) and it is difficult to find the time to study.

I like finally having a job that I love and feeling a little more independent earning decent money. I am grateful that I have this opportunity.

The reason I am posting this is because that part of one of my TAFE assessments is to research and access an online support service for stress and this was one of the websites suggested.

If there are any other TAFE students, new employees, babysitters, tutors or anyone really that wants to chat, feel free to reach out to me, I hope to make some connections on here.

Also, if anyone has some suggestions for work/study and life balance please feel free to add some. I WOULD BE REALLY GRATEFUL!

(Daria is here because I grew up with Daria and relate to her).

If you appreciate Daria please let's be friends!

Great move @Former-Member in sending the guidelines through to your unit co-ordinator.

Have a browse through other threads and social spaces to find like-minded people.

Enjoy,
