Big decision to make

[mrmoneyindabank]

I'm at a loss about what I should about my current situation, my decision will greatly effect the next 5+ years of my life;

I'm currently enrolled in school and working full time. I've been at my job for a little over 3 years, the pay is good, paid vacation, benefits, bonuses and all that good stuff. I've been attending school at night/on the weekends up until this point but It seems like I've hit a wall. The classes I need to graduate (about 3 semesters left, 2 if I go hard) are only offered during the daytime when I work. My job refuses to work with me as far as fitting school in. I've already failed a class because of this and I can't afford to do it again. Not working is not an option, I have bills and a lifestyle to upkeep. On the other hand this job isn't forever, there's no room for advancement. Not getting my degree is out of the question. I found a evening job but its a serious pay cut and I don't think I'll be able to cover my expenses, not to mention the job sucks and they treat their employees like slaves.


What would you do NT? Keep your job and continue to put off school or take they wack job finish school and risk being in serious debt.

Maybe try and find a Full time job that can work with your schedule (easier said then done I know). Myself, I would try and finish school first.

That's what I'm leaning towards, my degree will stay with me long after I leave this job

"A lifestyle to keep up"

with that statement alone, you have already made your decision. Get out of school. Therefore you don't fail. Therefore you keep up your "lifestyle".

The piece of paper you earn after graduating will last you longer than the pieces of paper you're earning at this job.

Smh.That's ashamed that they won't work with you after putting in 3 years with them.

School easily. If not getting a degree is out of the question then it shouldn't be a hard decision at all. I just think you aren't ready to make sacrifices.

Find another job that fits your schedule, leave your current job if they aren't willing to work with you.

When you have to support yourself it's a very hard decision to make. I don't know if I can make ends meet with the job that fits the school schedule. Student loans are an option but I already have an auto loan out.

Wait tables. Sure, you don't get all that other stuff, but there's a ridiculous amount of money to be made and it works with you going to school. I've been doing it for three years. At the right establishment, a bill a night is easy money.

I been moonlighting as bouncer some nights but it's not steady work, I agree though. You can't beat 150 for 6 hrs of "work"
