[nagdu] Working during class

[Jenine Stanley]

Tracy, 

 

 

I did work during my Swap class but the fact that I work at GDF sort of
helped. <grin> Actually, during the last week and a half, I work half days
in the office and depending on the trip, I'd go out or not. The days we went
into Queens, I did go with the class because I needed the city experience. 

 

During my TJ class though I was about half way through my MBA and had to
turn in work, reading assignments, papers, etc., during class or be kicked
out of the program. I did our combo training, 2 weeks on class and a week of
home training which worked, but I did a lot of reading and paper
writing/internet research on the van and back at the dorm during down time.
That was probably my worst guide dog class experience in a number of ways,
not the least of which was the college class work. <grin>

My boss asked me if I could work part-time while I was in class with Ben,
but I said no.  A friend of mine tried it, and he said it didn't work very
well.  He didn't have a lot of unspoken-for free time, and, when he did,
he was too tired to work very well.
One of my classmates, self-employed, did conduct some of his business
during class, occasionally requesting to go on an earlier or later trip so
he could make a conference call, but he didn't do it often.

I could see how working part-time could possibly be done at TSE, where one
can stay in the dorm when one is not on a trip, but even that is not a
large block of time. I think I could do it if I really had to, but I'd
rather not.

Anyone here try to work during class?
Tracy
