It is said that people have to mind their health since their early age. Students often ignore this universal truth and do not guard their health. Due to their youth and lack of experience, they are assured in their unlimited abilities. Fortunately, most of them do not have problems with heart or blood pressure. Still, overwork during ones student years might be consequential. Serious diseases of middle aged people might be caused by enormous overload during their student years. The problem is that only excellent health allows juggling ones work with studies.
Time-management skills are said to be beneficial for combining ones work with studies. Still, a day and a night contain only twenty-four hours, which often appear to be insufficient for combining a part-time job with studies. Deciding to combine their work with studies, students need to be ready for a constant lack of time. Enormous physical load coupled with lack of sleep might result in a nervous breakdown and other serious diseases.

For example, if a student is deprived of opportunity to become a waiter due to ones poor health, he/she might become a tutor or a freelance translator. Weighing all pros and cons of combining ones work with studies, a student should consider
1.the state of ones health;
2.ones time-management skills;
3.the level of ones self-motivation.
Still, if a person feels bad due to the necessity to combine ones work with studies, it is preferable to concentrate ones energy on studies.
