I Worked 5 Jobs While Being a FULL-TIME College Student | STORYTIME

I worked 5 jobs while being a full-time college student. A storytime where I share with you how I survived college and how different part-time side hustles I was able to do. Grad school was a rough time but I made it through!

"Just because we can, doesn't mean we need to." I love it!

This was very interesting! I am amazed at how much you did while you were in college! I have had ultra productive phases in my life but right now I’m feeling very burned out and think I need to take a break from being ultra productive. Right now I’m focusing more on rest and mental wellbeing.

I completed 3 Bachelors Degrees (including my student teaching) from 2000-2004, 3 Masters Degrees back-to-back from 2006-2018, and am now finishing my PhD (2018-2022). I have always worked 3-5 jobs to make ends meet, including being a full time special education teacher for the past 17 years. How do you relax? My PhD work requires me to stay up really late most nights and then I have to be back up at the crack of dawn to fit in all of my jobs.

Wow love what you said at the end about rest! The sermon at church this week was about how we get so caught up in our busyness that we forget God commands us to rest. Our value/worth doesn’t come from how productive we are or what we do, but in who we are in Christ!💜

I worked 1 full time job and 2 part time jobs while going to college full time, and I thought I was going to die from the exhaustion. 😑 Respect.

[GrowWithWill]

This is really inspiring! This just goes to show that YOU can always find a way and make things work. Amazing time management skills, Maya!

[johnlopez]

It can be a blessing to be busy doing absolutely nothing. It is all about protecting your peace. Thank you for your video presentation. Take care.

Literally thank you so much, I'm working on 4 jobs while in high school, I'm inspired by you, fighting! 💜

[Chey]

Wow this is so motivating, I’m going to be working part time, while going to college full time. And I’m a little worried about time management. In addition I have to study for classes and prepare for grad school so I feel like I might get stressed out 😰. But seeing this video makes me believe I can do it!

[qrdfufe]

This is really like a sign from the universe to me, I was just crying because I am under so much stress because I am involved in many stuff that I can't quit right now cuz of money 😢

[graceliaw]

Thank you for this video! This upcoming school year, I will be taking on one job, two club positions, preparing for a junior recital, and music therapy fieldwork. Along with 13 credits this semester.

your videos are always a breath of fresh air! <3

Hi Maya. You picked jobs that all had their own interesting things. I had to save up a long time for the period of time when I student taught. Actually, looking back a lot of what I found tough was the expectation to dress professionally (costs involved) and put in over 110 hours of the expected training/volunteering. It was no joke! On average it took me over two years to save just for that part of school requirements.

Feeling the need of constantly doing something was a sign of anxiety in my case, after my psychologist told me that I suffer from anxiety somehow I stopped feeling guilty, however, I'm still doing something, even working with something in the background and it's exhausting. Yoga helps me a lot because at least 4 times a week I disconnect from the world for an hour.

[strawverymilktae]

This is exactly what I need! I'm taking 17 credits this semester and working part-time sfdibdihvg so this is appreciated. I'm proud of how you managed <33

[infiniteblueskies]

When you said at the end to use my time wisely, it motivated me to delete prime video app off my phone cause I like to watch shows a lot.
I can barely handle my part time minimum wage job, but it is cool to see what I could potentially accomplish if I made certain changes/sacrifices and had the drive.

Thanks for another inspiring video Maya.

[teachersharon]

you are so awesome! I'm sure you are an example of the uncommon type of person who will work five jobs while studying full-time at college and you are truly an example or a model amongst everyone who watches your video and surrounds you.

I wish I could do more but my work and commute takes up 14 hours of my day and I’m so exhausted for anything else. And I feel overworked and underpaid. I don’t even get 8 hours of sleep because I have to get up at 4 AM to catch a 5:45 train and sleeping at 8 PM is difficult with all the things I’ve to do. I am honestly confused about what to do.🙁

[erickimura]

This is very relatable. I work full time as a Team Manager then going to school taking Radiologic tech. I sometimes cried to class because I havent had sleep for 16 hrs straight but Im so thankful that the management where im working is so considerate.
