..the seemingly long and endless road of full time job, and school...

[GQ Chris]

So currently I am going back to school this semester, I would love to go full time, but I also have a full time job and its tough to juggle a full load without doing badly in my grades. But I am determined to finish up; I have a lot of units completed, but still not quite there.

Anyone ever been in my position?

I have plenty of friends at college who have both full time jobs and are full time students at college, having a standard of excellence in both places. In my case, I'm unable to do it because I take more subjects than necessary since I want to finish my career earlier than what is expected, so I cannot have a full time job, nor a part time one. That being said, I was thinking about getting a part time job before I saw my college schedule for next semester; I don't think I'd do that good working full time and being a full time student, but that's just me; other people can do it, I'm sure of that.

You seem to have a good attitude. Just don't give up and quit. Every class you finish brings you closer to the goal of a graduation. Since this is what God has put before you, He will give you what you need to complete it. Do not lose heart, God will see you through.

Sound advice, but I'd add that one must get off their rear end and do it.

I hope you have a good reason to burn the candle at both ends like that. I also hope you are a young man to effectively be able to handle the stresses.

I've been in that position and if I could go back I would not have worked so hard.

During my A Levels (exams to get into university), I am glad that I worked so hard - twelve hour days weren't uncommon for a period of about month. As long as you continue to devote time to God (for me it was before I started work) and take at least some rest on Sunday, the momentary troubles that last months are insignificant when we're talking years of benefits.

If you have the gift to work, use it. I'm glad I did.
