Balancing Work & VCE (1 Viewer)

[vce_kiddo]

Anyone who's had experience, what's it like working and doing VCE also? how many hours did you work doing year 12? and any other info/thoughts/opinions would be great.



cheers:apig:

HSC and VCE are pretty similar. well same workload right?

I'd say it's doable, but I'd advise you to quit or suspend your work unless you really need the money.

At the best, stop work a month before mid years. BOL.

Yeah, I guess they would be about the same.

Would it be worth suspending work in yr 11 if im doing a 3+4.
gahhhh i have almost nooo idea what to expect next year

I don't work heaps of hours, but next year i've enrolled in 2 hr of dance classes a week, is this too much?

My subjects next year are: PSY (3+4) and 1+2: EL, CHEM, ACC, GMF, MMC

Oh, for year 11? Fuck yes, keep your job man, even if you were doing two 3/4's. Just quit it for year 12.

I wouldn't even quit for year 12 - just work the bare minimum hours that you can so that you have a job to go back to. Remember how many people are looking for work around Oct-Dec each year.

You quit in year 12, you'll REGRET it. Read the stories around this forum. They will be 100% understanding that you're in year 12.

I worked 3 hours a week between May and November, and went back to full time hours within a few weeks of finishing exams. It works out so well.

Babikakez, did your massivly reduced hours affect getting your supervision? Did you still get a svr shift every now and again out of that 1 shift a week? (once a month etc?)

 

[babikakez]

I wasn't a supervisor then. I basically became a supervisor at the end of Year 12 because they had no one else, and I was semi already trained in quite a few things.

All my hours were in nontrade, basically tickets and occasionally cash office. So it was more like 3-6 hours a week.

ETA: If I had been a supervisor then, there would have been no way I could have dropped my hours that severely. Our Year 12ing supervisor this year had a 16 hours p/w contract the whole year, and took a month off before exams.

 

[bio_nut]

I did at least 12 hours a week, except during exams where I did 4 and still went well. 30 a week between terms.

You people are complete sooks, lol.

 

[babikakez]

I admit I was sookish to work that little. I'm generally doing 15-20 hours per week now that I'm at uni and I'm doing heaps better at uni than I ever did at school.

So yeah, I was pathetic.

 

[iMatthew]

Well I did 38 hours during the exam week (believe it or not) for Year 10 and I did okay.
But probably best if you don't try that
