Resume question

I intend to be a part time university student this fall while taking on a full time job. This one job requires highschool diploma with some certs that I have. Would it be helpful to state that I'm going to be a part time student or would it more likely make the employer think that my studies will interfere with my job duties?

In that case put it on there. Most employers that are worth a crap will provide tuition assistance to help you continue your education. It only helps the company as long as you stay with them. So I don't see why it would be a negative.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Thats all based on opinion. I put certs in progress on my resume and if I had a degree in progress I'd put that too. To each their own.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -
