Analogy:
Education : academically :: Labor : ?
I'm trying to fit in something to go here:
... not only do I have to do well academically, but also _____ (in my labor)
Parentheses not included.
What can fit in that blank?

in my work, or professionally, or practically if you are contrasting academia and work in analogy to theory and practice.– Dan BronCommented Dec 14, 2016 at 2:37

As in manual labor.– AAM111Commented Dec 14, 2016 at 2:45

If you are speaking about manual labor, consider the adverb form of vocation, "vocationally". In American English, 'vocational education' refers idiomatically to education in a skilled trade, such as plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry.
of, relating to, or concerned with a vocation
of, relating to, or undergoing training in a skill or trade to be pursued as a career
... where vocation means
the work in which a person is employed
The normal word here though you want is probably professionally.
From the moment students enroll at X College they are empowered to succeed both academically and professionally.
(Quote anonymized to not advertise any particular school.)
Also, you may want to look at the grammar of your sentence again, because I do not think as it stands it is grammatical: "I have to good academically"?
