Hello! I'm 17 years old, boy, in 11th grade, I'm an excellent student. Next year I will finish 12th grade, after which I want to study accordingly. I have not yet decided what exactly I will study, but there are things that worry me. So I'll go straight to the topic. I think I study full-time, not part-time, and that's where the problem comes from. I want to work while I have to. (I'm thinking of living in a dormitory for at least the first and second year) I don't want to rely on my parents and that's why I want to study and work. Is it possible to work while studying Someone who has been through something like this or is currently going through it, how has it done or is it doing? Would you give me some advice? Thank you for your time!

It is possible, but you must either be part-time or work 4 hours.
A lot depends on where you want to "study" - I really hate this word in this context, tell yourself to study ... what will you follow, associate professors while you ask them for certifications? You may not attend lectures at the Technical University in Sofia, but the exercises are mandatory, which means that you cannot be absent. They don't care at all if you're in bad health, if they're going to do surgery or something - alive, dead, you have to be there. If you can't go with your group, then you go with another. It is possible to work if you find an employer that offers flexible working hours, which means that on Monday you can be at work from 8 to 12, on Tuesday from 12 to 16, etc., depending on the program at the university . And it's not really like school - the program is scattered from 7:30 in the morning to 19:30 in the evening, but you have a maximum of 3 exercises a day, and there are days when you don't have any and you can work for 12 hours if you want. The only other university that cares so much about attendance I think is UACEG, someone to correct me if I'm wrong. In the rest, everything is already in the hands of the teachers - there are those who keep the students there, there are those who do not care. The most important thing is to choose to study something that is interesting to you, that has interesting disciplines. To be able to sit during a session to read with interest, not enough to beat the numbers to get threes and finally not even know what you learned. Once you have decided to start a university, make sure it is your top priority and income comes second. Many people make the mistake of quitting their jobs and not going to university at all and end up not even graduating, which in reality is a waste of time, lost money for a semester, lost nerves. So ... set your priorities. Good luck and smart!
Don't waste your time in various fictional university specialties, where the professors will only complain about how small their salary was and how they sacrificed themselves ... Not to mention that everyone has already become a "professor" in 1 day, rising dubious way of the title "assistant" !!! Are there any more assistants ??? !!! By the way - if you are an excellent student at the university, it does not automatically mean that you will be like that in life ... This is the sad truth!
I am a lecturer at a technical university and I want to tell you that over 50% of the students work, the times are gone when the mass student only studied, for grades they manage somehow - where they learn, where the teacher does not care, where they rewrite, for Your knowledge is super individual, who wants to learn, who does not want and does not work will not. Maybe part-time will be more suitable for you, many companies are already encouraging (giving student leave) learning.
Look at you ... This study and work comes from various students who study economics at the University of National and World Economy and all day wondering what to do. If you study something serious, you will not have time to work. Yes, you may not go to lectures or even some exercises, but you will get stuck and things will go badly. My advice is to focus on learning, and then you will spend your whole life.
I work 8 hours a day and go to university, yes it is possible. Many people do it, not 1-2. Around me, however, my relatives support them and only walk or do not walk at all. It doesn't matter what you study, I have girlfriends, law, medicine, economics, psychology, they study and take exams.
It is possible to work while studying full-time, but there are several factors to consider: which university you will study at, what major, what kind of professors you will find, and last but not least whether your employer will agree to compromise your studies. you. Keep in mind that the first semester your program can be very convenient and allows you to work, say every day to work 6 hours or one day to work 4, the other 8, 10, 12 hours, it also depends a lot on the nature of the work, whether it provides flexible working hours and the second semester to be close to university or to have such an interval between lectures / exercises that does not allow you to work. In general, there is no obstacle to work, if you have the desire, but you should be aware that it will not be easy for you, there may come a time, in which you will have to neglect one of three things: your dream, your job, or the university. I would advise you, if your chosen specialty has a part-time form of study to enroll in one, you will be able to work full-time somewhere without stressing for university, and when it comes time to study, you will know that you are agreed with the employer to be absent from work in certain weeks / days! The final decision is yours! Success! The final decision is yours! Success! The final decision is yours! Success!
Much depends on what specialty you will study and how much you will be burdened.
