Abstract:
This study is a qualitative research about the experiences of working students in balancing their school and work responsibilities during the CoVid-19 pandemic. Even way back before, a lot of students are already earning and pursuing their education at the same time for financial support and to obtain advanced professional experiences. The said pandemic affected the livelihood of many and has become the cause of the increasing number of working students. The Purposive Sampling Technique was used in selecting the 10 working students as respondents of the study. The answered interview questions are analyzed through the Code and Theme method of analysis. The results collected from the respondents revealed that the advantages and disadvantages of being a working student during the CoVid19 Pandemic are: (a) able to study and work while at home, (b) earn money, (c) health risk and, (d) struggle in balancing priorities. Furthermore, the difficulties and challenges encountered in balancing school and work are (a) lack of time and (b) mental health risk. The study recommended techniques and practices that would benefit working students on an efficient school and work path.
