Should i play basketball or get a job?

Question

It is my senior year in high school and was wondering weather to play basketball or get a job. First of all i need a job for a class i signed up for. Second of all since my sister went off to college money is really tight and i just want to help my family out. If i play basketball i just think i will be over scheduling myself so i just want to pick one. help?!!?

Answer 1

You should prioritize. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, the most important thing to be prioritized is physiological, which includes food, shelter, etc... The second to be prioritized is safety which is composed by security in body and health, etc... Third is love and belongingness, fourth is self-esteem. Why the h**l am i saying this?!

My point is, if you get a job, you're catering for your basic needs, which is the most important. Regarding basketball, it's up to you if you're doing it for health, belongingness, or self-esteem's sake. Whichever that is, you cannot be satisfied because you will still be bugged by money problems.

Anyway, you're still in high school so it's not yet too late to pursue basketball in college. You might want to fix things first: wants or needs?

Answer 3

You say you need a job for your class and you/family needs the money. This should be a no brainer man. Your responsibilities should outweight playing a game...games are for when you've got the time and nothing more important needs to be done.

Unless you are a good enough player to scholarship and go pro, your basketball playing would benefit no one but you and your pleasure.

So...where are your priorities?

Answer 4

anyone who likes basketball will say you should play, anyone wise will tell you to get a job. i think you should get a job, and play a bit on you free time with your friends.
