Do you work and go to school?
Starting grad school in the fall. They told me it’s too hard to have a job and do the program, but I’ve always worked my way through! Thoughts??

My wife did work and go to school. But she was a bit older and was on her second degree. I don’t know if that matters or not. I do know that I saw her stress like I never saw her stress before, but a lot of that she puts on herself.
I just finished the first year of a h.dip. course(post grad level) while working full time and I can honestly say I haven’t had spare time since Sept. last year. Mind you, you get pretty good at multi-tasking.
I’m an undergrad at Temple and I’m a part-time realtor on the side.. No problems really
Next quarter I plan on working and being a full time student. I’m also getting ready to move out of my house and into an apt with a friend who will be doing the same. I think it will be rough at first (we are both new to the whole rent/bills/groceries/cleaning deal), but once we get used to it it’s going to be pretty amazing.
I worked all though undergrad; my grad program won’t let me either. I will probably do a small amount of consulting work and not tell them though.
work almost everday. School m/w/f. Volounteer at an elementary school tues and Thursdays. I like being busy.
Great question. I’m facing the same dilemma with law school. They say not to work but I’ve always worked [about full time] while in college. I think it just depends on the person. My friend is at NYU law and he spends a lot of time goofing off, so I figure I could use roughly the same amount of time for working. That just means no extra time, but oh well.
You just have to be organize and that should do.
I worked part-time during my undergraduate years. I found out I was pregnant a couple days after starting grad school, so I didn’t work then. I got my Master’s 16 years ago, and I’m considering going for my Doctorate… and I’d have to work.
i have two jobs, and so does my girlfriend, but hers are worse.
i work six days a week for 3–8 hours, but she works seven days a week and is a pastry student, ie, she’s in school seven or eight hours a day from 6 in the morning. she’s nuts.
and we’re still always broke. :) such is life.
