<p>No worries, I worked a 25 hr/week part time job all throughout undergraduate. My 2nd yr I even worked a SECOND part time job, about 10 hrs per week for one year. Although I would recommend against that (2nd job) in hindsight. </p>
<p>I would also recommend quitting your job/EC for the LAST semester (long ways away right now for you) when you do your senior design project. Trust me when you are in the lab for 30-40 hrs a week + 25 hrs work + 16 hrs of class + 15 hrs of studying = death. This only applies to the semester when you do your project though.</p>
<p>Granted, time was tight. The key is time management. Set a time for study, work, relax, play, and sleep and follow through with them. I suppose I did ok in that regard, although sometimes I deviated from my schedule and naturally sleep suffered. If you plan to get wasted every other day, then it probably won’t work for you. Then again if that’s your plan, you probably won’t do well as an engineering major. You will have time for relax and play though.</p>
