Any current or former graduate students? Work question...

[SlowLX]

How many of you that have or are working towards graduate degrees are still working full time? If ya are, how much of a bitch is it to balance between 40-50 hr work week and school? Financially I'll probably be needing a real job soon. I'm not sure if I can keep going on bullshit college jobs for 2 more years, just curious if full time work and a masters is as shitty as people tend to say it is.

I've been doing my masters for the past 2 years and working like 50+ hours a week. I only go mon/wed nights but it's still a bitch. Takes dedication but it will all be worth it in august when I graduate.

I'm forwarding your concerns to your boss. Don't worry.

And I never went through any grad program, but I can tell you people I know (including my wife) wouldn't have made it if they had to divert their attention for a job during that time.

MPA still haven't decided on an emphasis area. With the VA and Texas footing the bill if I get enough scholarship money I may be able to live comfortably with BS jobs for a while longer but I'm looking at all my options

I work 40-50 hours a week, and travel here and there to visit suppliers and customers and have no problem maintaining a 4.0. Granted it may take me 3 years to finish. Also, my degree is engineering management (aka easy)...any non technical degree will seem much easier to anyone who has been through most engineerig programs.

I work 60 hours a week and am working on my MPA. It sucks but I've gone through worse.
