Taking 5 classes, should I work part time?

Question

I'm planning on taking 5 classes this upcoming Fall semester. I'm a math major and these are the courses i'm signed up for:

Real Analysis 1
Computer Science1 w/lab
Applied Regression Analysis
Economic Statistics
Marketing Principles and Policies

I am unsure whether I should accept a part-time job, about 20 hours a week, at a school. I'm hesitant because this job will require some preparation ahead of time. 

Should I just stick with classes and not work?

Thanks

I think you may find Real Analysis and Applied Regression difficult.  But both will start out deceptively easy.

If you are taking Applied Regression, then haven't you already had basic Statistics?  You should find Economic Statistics easy at this point.

You will probably find Computer Science 1 easy.  I don't know about Marketing.

I think you should wait about 3 weeks and see how the semester goes before you decide on a job.

The courses you are taking is a FULL LOAD for the avg./ above avg. student, unless you are one of a handful of exceptional people who can flip through the pages of a textbook and understand everything like a sponge soaking in water. If you aren't one of the people, devote your time to your studies.

Yea you could work too but only if you feel you'd be able to handle it and fit it into your schedule. Plus part time just means income to take care of yourself and extra money in your pocket.
