I guess it would depend on your course load.  If you are in school part time, that should be no problem.  Full time work and full time school can be done if you don't need much sleep or a personal life.  If you are in class 7.5 hours a day, at work 8 hours a day - plus drive time, you will not be home approximately 18 hours a day.  Add in your homework time; say 2 hours a day - that leaves you 4 hours a day to sleep.  On your days off you will be able to see your friends and do things like laundry, but it will probably get old fast.  Mathematically you can do it.  Physically and emotionally - only you can answer that.

Everyone is different. Even though some people can physically & mentally do it, it probly takes a toll on their health so be careful if you do!  :thumbsup:

It is not easy when you have a family work and attend school.

All four years, that I went to University, I worked at full time jobs. My final G.P.A. was 2.49 so not the sharpest tool in the shed. I wish I would have done it differently.
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

this is speaking from my own experiences but i worked 50+ hours a week and i was a full time student at the same time.  i was also in a committed relationship.  sure its hard but it all depends on how much your willing to do.  sometimes it felt like i was always trying to please others over myself but in the end i was getting paid, i had my spouse, and i got my degree.

Many people work full time and take classes. I did it but it was hard.  If you are single and not a parent it is easier. I dont think I could have done it if I had children at the time. It all depends on just how determined you are to get your degree.

Can I or can you?  People do it, but I never had to.  Personally I'd find it overwhelming, but I might've been able to do it when I was younger.  It all depends on your energy level and how organized you are.  Good luck, whichever way you go.

It is overwhelming, but there are some determined people who do it. Juggling a full time job and school is very hard.
