chances of working with 6 subjects per semester? (1 Viewer)

[kateemily]

Thats the question. i was originally going to work hope fully the equivalent of 2 full days during uni, but now that ill be doing 6 subjects per semester, whats my employment situation going to be? im thinking one half-full day a week.

if i do the recommended 10hrs each week for each subject, im looking at 8.5hrs a day/7days a week. if i take one day off to work it goes up to 10hrs a day/6days a week. so realistically speaking, how many hours a week do u think i could do paid work?

Personally I'd advise only working one day per week for your first semester until you gauge the level of work required for your course. I found working two full days when I was in my first year too much (although this depends on course and person) but I now find it easier to work two or more days. Try to take it easy at the begining, you need to adjust to the uni style or work, you can always increase days later.
