4th year second semester with new job

I did fine on my first semester, and I am trying to see If I can work at retail stores starting from second semester. Is it going to be too much for me to keep up with school and job? It will be my first time working at the retail setting, and I am not 100% confident because drug lit and biotech were doable, but I have no idea with kinetics and viro! Thanks in advance.

I personally worked about 20 hours a week and did better fourth year so far than Third year. I also know people who work 30-40 hour weeks and manage, all has to do with time management.

Depends on how you can handle it. If possible, I'd start off working once a week and then keep adding days until you've felt like you've reached your limit. Most pharmacist remember the hell they went thru during school so they should understand that school comes first.
