<prompt> Human: The pay is estimated at 2000 per semester. I am currently in the Waiting industry and feel confident in getting a newer job soon with great tip money.Would it be well advised to do both or is that overwhelming? Im not worried about my grades im more concerned with staying out of debt. Edit: Thanks everybody, i really appreciate the different viewpoints. General Consensus is to proceed cautiously and make FWS work for you. The problem is i dont know how i get to choose my job? i assumed a job was appointed to you. nevertheless i will be following through and asking the college everything i can about FWS, and ill make a decision from there. Thanks again i really appreciate it.  <response>: I would suggest the work study as a job. I begin my second year as a teaching assistant and its has to be one of the best jobs to have in college. With a work study, you work for both the company and for yourself. You better the school by providing temporary employment and many of these jobs allow flexable schedules and time to work on homework. During the slow times at work, the school is paying you to work on homework. Its really hard to beat a set up that works around your life and school. In addition, I did work the second job after school to help pay for tution. I would only do this after you have adjusted to school and the work study to ensure your grades will not suffer. A job outside of school will not be ok if you miss work for a test or because you have lots of homework. Which is why I think an adjustment period will benefit you and your job. Overall, work study is a great set up for easy money. But, remember your at school to learn and get a degree. Do not take on more than can practically handle. Youll do fine though. Congrats on bettering yourself.
