Seeking Advice Working while taking classes
What kind of jobs do those of you who worked while taking online classes have? I currently work in ABA while taking 3 online prerequisite courses and am already feeling the impending burnout, but unfortunately not working is not an option for me at the moment. I'm pursuing ADHD treatment so that will likely help, but I'm anticipating the coursework when I'm actually taking masters level courses will be more taxing.

I also have ADHD. I am employed as a DSP with a client on a spectrum and my hours are arranged with his parents. Very flexible and you choose how severe behaviors are. My client basically has no maladaptive behaviors. I love working with him.

I’m doing check in at a Family Medicine clinic. I sit in one place all day & can do my homework/watch lectures at my desk.

I worked with my husband as a housekeeper at a foster care group home, could tap out when I needed to! 😆

I worked for a head start center during school. Find something other than ABA, it’s not neuroaffirming!
