I think you might really enjoy and benefit from reading this blog by Julia Wise. While it’s great that you have such a strong instinct to help people, we’re in this game for the long haul, and you won’t have a big impact by feeling terrible about yourself and feeling guilty if you don’t make sacrifices.
In particular, it’s very likely that focusing on doing well in college and then university is going to make a much bigger different to your lifetime impact than whether you can get a part-time job to donate right now.
