*Because I have a friend who cope with both studies and part-time job.

Neither

*Isn't it difficult for students preparing for entrance examination?
*I think it depends on the type of part-time job.
*Isn't it possible to balance studies and part-time jobs if they are the same field? For example, working as a part time nurse in order to advance to the course of nursing produces a synergistic effect between study and part-time work. But in general, I think it's difficult to make a balance.
