[QUOTE="04YellowGT, post: 14635249, member: 35332"] I'm currently going back to school to get another degree. I'm doing a advanced program for working adults and its accredited. Basically classes are 5 weeks long and meet once or twice a week for 4-5 hrs/class. Its pretty intense but I take 1 class every five weeks and skip some sessions allowing my brain to take a break. The classes are at night too so I don't have to take off work. They do make for some very long days. I guess first I have a few questions: - What are you going to school for and what will you have when you are done? Bachelors or Associates in..? - Are there jobs in the area that will utilize your degree? - Do you have a degree now? Associates? - How many, if any, credits do you have that are carrying over to the new degree? - How steady is your wife's job? I know a guy I worked with who quit to go back to school and two months later his wife lost her job. These really don't have anything to do with your main question but are something to look at that some people miss. Like others have said if you are starting over or still need to take some general classes you could look at other schools to get those credits online and transfer them to the college you will get your degree with. That would allow you to work longer and save up more. Just a thought. As for what to do for money: My wife goes to school full time and works about 20-25hr/week as an activities assistant at a nursing home. Work is flexible and easy and pays about $10/hr. Is there a Costco near you? They pay like 12-13/hr and start you off with 20-25hrs. Most of it is weekend work too. The other idea, which really isn't a smart or good idea, is take some student loans and live off of them. [/QUOTE]
