Source: Instrument applied to university students who are working and studying at the same
time or people who already graduated from university and studied and worked at the same
time at some point of their lives. Between the ages of 20 and 70, San Pedro Sula, Cortes,

current work and study, 9.6% of the people feel a balanced load on their work/ study and the
33.7% feel a little busy on their current work and studies.

Analysis: According to the results, the work/study load is very balanced and it is not a
problem for the majority of people but also the ⅓ of the people feel a very overwhelmed load
and that can mean that depending on what are you studying or working, can change your load
or not

Source: Instrument applied to university students who are working and studying at the same
time or people who already graduated from university and studied and worked at the same
time at some point of their lives. Between the ages of 20 and 70, San Pedro Sula, Cortes,
September 2023.
Interpretation: According to the survey, 49.4% of the people’s biggest challenge is time,
18.7% biggest challenge is the load on their work or studies, 10.84% biggest challenge is
stress, 9.64% biggest challenge is the family and the 12.5% does not have any challenge

Analysis: According to the results, the time is the biggest challenge people face when they
try to balance work and study and that happens because sometimes the schedule crash and the
people have to choose which thing they have to leave and that can cause a lot of conflicts on
our daily mental, or sometimes the small amount we have to study or to relax after a busy day
at work or at the university.

getting demotivated and that it really helps in order to continue working and studying at the
same time.
