How many hours do you work a week?

I am lucky in that i have both a job that i love and a job that pays very well, i work on average of 30-40 hours a week and make more than enough to survive. I would imagine that both working and studying at the same time would be very tiring though.

I don't think it's impossible, but I do think what you're doing sounds difficult. Is it possible to cut back on one or the other? Can you cut back your hours at work without losing benefits and still have enough money to live on? Or can you cut back on the classes you take? I know sometimes that's a problem if you are counting on the financial aid; you need to be enrolled in class a certain number of hours. Another thing you could maybe do the next time you register for classes is try to make sure some of the classes you take are pretty easy and won't require lots of homework.

TO MANY - since I've been working from home I'm afraid I don't keep track of actual hours but sometimes I'm working from before the sun comes up until long after it goes down. Same as you, there are many times I don't have a day off. Thing is though then I turn around and will have days and days that I don't work. I am working on getting some sort of a schedual set up so that I do cut back on hours per day and also figure in 'a day off'. A couple years ago I too was working 40 hours plus 12 credit hours of college. I took half of my classes online so that helped some but it was difficult at times finding time for homework and often fell asleep with books in my lap or on the computer.

I have NEVER had a LOT of energy. When I went to college I know I couldn't have had a job - but now we know that if my allergies had been identified before I got out of high school, my grades might've been better if I hadn't had a bad headache every day. I don't envy you with your schedule, best of luck. I work 23ish hours a week, plus an additional unpaid 7 hrs with my mom. I also drive my roomie to & from work.
