I initially had two jobs while studying for my undergraduate degree at Uni. It eventually became too much and I had to give one job up about half-way through my second year. However, I managed to save most of my grant and student loan so I had something to fall back on.
If you're going to work whilst studying, my advice would be to go all out during your first year. In my subject (History and Politics), results from the first year did not count towards your final, third-year mark although this may differ depending on which course or university you attend. Obviously, I still had to pass the first year in order to progress onto the second so it's vital to complete assignments and exams.
