My first feature story

The balance between school and work for LBCC students. My idea for this feature story is to get into the lives of some LBCC students who are full time students and also work a part time job. Many students face difficulties balancing money and family life and the question is how do they do it? Nut Graf: Many students today feel the hard times and stress of managing school and a job.

Sources: Many of my sources are going to be simple LBCC students that actually manage the stress of trying to be a full time student and manage to still hold on to a job in this economy. Another source I may talk to is the career counsellor Mark Weiss. He would be a good source as to some of the students that manage school and work lives.

Questions for students: -What are some difficulties that you have faced while managing work and school? -Have any problems occurred with you bosses about school? -Do you alter your schedules for work and school to try and make ends meet? -How do manage stress that occurs between your job and school? Questions for Mark: -Are jobs for students difficult to find right now in this economy? -What are some difficulties that you have faced with your students about managing classes and work? -Do you feel stressed when problems occur between students and their jobs?
