Task: Real-Life Creative Problem Solving
Come up with an original and creative solution for the following real-world problem:
Clara, a junior pre-med student, is working part-time and taking a 15 hour credit load at school. Clara enjoys her pre-med courses very much, but they are very difficult and time consuming. Her current job as a 'gopher' at an architectural design firm requires her to work 25 hours a week which really cuts into her available study time.  In fact, she is barely getting 'C's' in two of the classes she needs for her major. The pay in her present job is good, and she enjoys the work, although she is not getting a lot of practical experience. Clara does not want to drop any of her classes as she needs them to graduate so that she can be admitted to medical school in the coming year. She also knows that she needs good grades to be admitted to medical school. Up until now, Clara has been able to work at her job and still get good grades, but the difficult courses she is taking now require much more of her time. Clara is not sure how to solve her problem..

Response: reduce her time at work or tape her teachers and listen to the lectures while she works that way she can review the class lectures.

Response: I would first talk to management at work at tell them about my situation.  I would request less hours at work so that I'd have more time to study.  If that was not an option, I would look for a more part-time job, and a job that has more practical experience for her major to support what she is learning.   Lastly, if I couldn't do the first options, I would go for a lower course load next time around, or drop a class.

Response: Clara might consider to leave her architectural job and apply for something related in the medical field. She should find a job in a medicine environment that is practical experience to prepare her for medical school; whether she be an assistant to nurses to help clean or even a receptionist in a hospital, as long as she is exposed in an healthcare facility. Though, the pay may not be as much, but hopefully more lenient hours of work and more experience for her future career.

Response: 25 hours a week isn't even full time, so she should be okay with plenty of study time. While she's trying her hardest to keep her grades up she should be looking for another job. Otherwise she should stick it out with this good paying job because after college she'll be able to have a job she actually enjoys.

Response: clara should get a job that will work around her schedule because, school is way more important and there are others applying to medical school that devote their entire time to studying and getting good grades. So, i suggest that clara should get another job that will understand her need for school.

Response: She should as to do less hours of her "gopher" job and focus more of her studies in school, and then maybe she will get more time to focus and concentrate herself to get to med-school.

Response: There are several things that Clara could do to solve her problem.  One is simple.  Clara could keep her job, but cut back on the hours.  Instead of working 25 hours a week, she could work 15 hours a week, therefore having an equal school and class load.  Another idea is that Clara could talk to her bosses at work and ask if during down time at her job, she could work on homework.  Or, Clara could look into somehow possibly getting extra credit in her pre-med courses by doing some kind of study at work.  Maybe she, with permission of her co-workers, could do some kind of study about the amount of sleep an employee receives verses their work performace that day.  Or a study about the types of food, or nutrients the employee takes in that day verses their performance.  Clara needs to look for ways such as these to not only balance work and school, but to also help the two to help each other. She needs to work hard, but also work smart.

Response: Clara should work around her work schedule so that she is able to study and work or cut her hours down some and only work on weekends. Maybe she can make a Tuesday and Thursday schedule for school and when she is done she'll have time to study and the times she does not go to work she can study on the other days.

Response: Although her current job may pay well she needs to stay focused on school. She should find another job that at least is some what related to her field of work. Try finding a part time job that has hours she can handle at maybe a hospital or a residential nursing home. This will allow her to gain more experience that she can apply to her studies.  She might not get the pay she needs now, but you have to make sacrifices in some areas. In the long run her hard work will pay off.

Response: Putting myself in Clara's shoes if school is her priority, which I assume it is because she in med-school, she needs to quit her job and focus on school.  If she needs more money she should look for a less demanding job possibly on campus that requires less hours or and apply for scholarships and any other financial aid that will allow her to put school on the forefront.

Response: Clara should talk to her employer about her hours.  Just taking the 25 hours down to 20 will be enough to give her an extra hour of studying per day of the week, while enabling her to still make decent money.  Also, she should take a look at what she does when she's not studying or working.  Streamlining that process a little bit will help her manage her time

Response: She would either have to quit her job or find another in which she can lower the hours that she works in order to study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara can use her free time that she has, such as nights and weekends to study for her courses, and can probably use her breaks during work to study for her courses. Time management is key to being able to maintain both an enjoyable job and improving on her courses that she's currently struggling with.
