It is doable. I took heavy loads in college and worked as many as 3 jobs at one time. The thing I discovered was that the busier I was between work and school, the better I got at managing my time. I got my best grades in college while carrying 19 hours & working 30+ hours per week.

Good luck. You gotta do what it takes!

It all depends on what you go to college for, what days the classes are offered, and the number of classes you’re willing to take in one semester/quarter. My boyfriend works full time and goes to school full time. He has 3 classes on Monday’s from 8-5, and 3 classes on Wednesday’s from 8-5. When you apply for a job, you need to let them know that you will be starting school, so they should be able to work around your schedule, since school came before work. School doesn’t run on weekends, unless you have a tutor at school.

Insane. If you’re in college, give it your best attention and effort. If you need money, work part-time, or consider cutting out some of your expenses if possible. You may also be able to get a loan. Even if you CAN do this, you won’t be happy and your learning will suffer. What’s the point of going to college if you’re not going to give 100%?

Insane. I’d start with one class and add a second the following semester. Four classes + a f-t job is a recipe for exhaustion. You won’t be able to do your best at any of it, and you’ll not enjoy it, either.
