School Plus Job Situation

Is a full time job, plus school, plus a child, plus pregnancy too much stress for the fetus?

I work 50 hours a week, plus go to school 10 credit hours (full time is 12) which requires FAR more than 10 hours a week in homework and study time, plus I have a 4 year old and NOW I'm pregnant. In case that is not enough, I have 2 bad dogs. One barks at EVERYTHING and the other pees in the house constantly. I live in a townhouse that does not have any outside area to place the dogs for quiet. The dogs are not really my concern. Im beginning to feel very overwhelmed and I know stress leads to high blood pressure which I already had in my last pregnancy - I was at such a high risk with blood pressure, I had to be induced a week early to get the baby out or I may have had serious problems, including death.
I CANNOT quit work. i have to pay for a roof and food on the table for my 4 year old. I really do not want to quit school because it gives me a sense of satisfaction when i do well. Lately, however, I am not doing so well in school, likely due to elevated stress and lack of time for studies.
Should I stay in school and hope the stress doe snot get to high or quit for a couple more years and try again later? Im already 27 and have been in school on and off trying for my B.S. since 2002 =(

Is it possible to work two full-time jobs, go to school, and do a startup? If yes, how?

It's possible but it will be hard. I'm currently in school studying engineering full time, I work a full time job Mon-Thurs 40hours a week (working graveyard) and I also work a part time job 20 hours during the day on weekends.Time management is everything.I'd say if you choose to work two jobs have atleast one of them be able to work on your studies during work. I am lucky enough to be working graveyard at my full time job because I am able to do homework & study throughout my 10hour shifts.Always make sure you eat healthy & exercise. Get atleast 8 hours of sleep a day. Whenever you're starting to feel stressed, take a break. And I mean it. You don't want to burn yourself out like I did.

Doing school full time plus 2 jobs?

I'm an 18 year old student who pays for my car, car insurance, phone bill, rent and any other necessities I need so basically everything. With all that being said I've decided that I'm going to have to get a second job and I'm totally fine with it because it's the only way I'll be able to support myself financially and for what ever I need. I'll be working about 60 hours every week plus full time school. Does anybody know of any 18 year olds doing this or if you had to do this during your college years? I'm just looking for some advice because I'm stressing out already and I can't afford to with my health also going down hill. Because of this I've started feeling extremely depressed and it's hard to control the way I feel. Just with full time school and working full time I feel like I have no life but once I have another Job I don't think I'll have time for anything. Anyways, I'd appreciate some advice! Thanks!

What does ±11 years mean on a job application?

The sign means Plus or Minus/Under or Over 11 years. They are asking IF you have graduated with either a GED or a Diploma in either under or over 11 years. Since you have not graduated yet, you would not answer that question...but would explain that you are still IN high school. N/A would be your response to that question, as it is not applicable to your current situation.

Job outlook for elementary school teachers?

It honestly depends on the area you are looking and you willingness to make a commute. Obviously if you are going to be picky as to the district or staying within 10 minutes, etc, it is going to be harder.

I would highly recommend getting involved with a school prior to trying to find a teaching position. Also, if your financial situation allows, I would suggest taking an aide position there first. I teach 5th grade in Ramsey, NJ. I know that most of the teachers in my school were hired as aides first. The following year, or when a position became available, they were offered that position.

I would also not suggest getting your masters right away. Districts tend to shy away from a first year teacher who has a masters because they have to pay more. Just a tip.

I do have to say, do not rule out any school districts when job searching. I know that I did alot of volunteer work when I was in college, and it was in the urban districts. Those times were some of the most rewarding. The students need so much and appreciate all you do for them.

Good luck!
