Kara Rowells enjoys hard work."My dad..always had a lot of different jobs at once,and so that's the model that I saw,he said."
So when Rowells began studying at university,she was more than happy to support herself.Her parents gave her assistance. But she covered most of her education costs with loans from banks and her own income.
At first,Rowells worked part-time as a teacher for young children.But the average pay for workers in that field in Florida is very low. So she took on other teaching positions to make more money.
In 2010,she decided to change schools.She began studying theater performance.And she took on more jobs.She began teaching dance,as well as taking care of children.But changing schools slowed her progress toward a degree.To speed it up,
Rowells had to take more than six classes in one term.In addition,she was working between 10 and 45 hours each week at her jobs.
Always being busy would often cause her to feel stress and miss sleep.She was not able to enjoy many of the social experiences involved in American higher education.
But Rowells was able to finish her study program as planned in 2012.She even earned a graduate degree in 2015 while working just as much as she had as an undergraduate.
The most difficult part of her college experience was learning that despite all her hard work,she still owed about$100,000 in student debt.She does not regret how much or how hard she worked.But she does feel her experience offers some valuable information about balancing work and studies that many college students could use.
College students should know their worth,Rowells says.And they should avoid sacrificing (牺牲)other parts of their lives for work if they can.
