When I was in college, they did not allow us to work more than 20 hours/week for work/study because they really want us to focus on our schoolwork. I would think that as a high school student, no more than 7-10 hours/week would be sane, especially since it’s senior year. Perhaps fewer hours until you get all your college aps in & more during breaks if you really want to (but it’s fun to also ENJOY your senior year).
If you can do lab work on weekends, as well, it would be easier to fit things into your schedule. Anyway, talk it over with your parents & lab & see how things evolve.
