![]() ![]() ![]() The point I wanted to make was not to make her feel guilty for not studying (I am not her mother), it was to make her realise she already has time to study which she is not using. How much time are you spending on social media, or the latest distraction for a student’s procrastination tendencies − binge-watching Netflix series. My first question was whether she was making any effort at this time to study at night or on weekends (and I did not mean the one hour you page through your textbook on the ‘I know this’ method to make yourself feel better). I cannot say I was surprised it is not the first time a trainee has come up with the idea and it wouldn’t be the last. One of our brightest up-and-coming first-year trainees came to me asking me if she could work half day for the next few months as she was not finding time to work and study for CTA. I have seen students advising each other it will be the most emotionally and mentally challenging year of their lives, and it makes me feel despondent because this is (putting it plainly) awful advice! Here are some tipsĮvery year, I hear the question, ‘Is it possible to pass CTA and work full time?’ Think about this − if it were not possible, if it were such an impossible task, would SAICA have an entire trainee programme dedicated to students who are still studying?Īsking fellow students how they balance work/CTA/life often seems like a good idea, but all too often have I seen the questions veering into the wrong direction with students advising each other it is indeed impossible, and if they can they must ask for recess on their training contracts to study full time. Obtaining your CTA while working and still being able to spend time with friends and family is not impossible. ![]()
