$ vs Time

I know this a question I can really only answer myself. I've been offered a job with a salary that is exceedingly generous, and it would definitely be a fast paced, challening position with room to grow. My concern is with how I will balance school and work. At UCSC, I was going to school full time and working part time. In this situation, I would be working full time and going to school part time in the evening. But I don't know if I would be able to balance all of that....getting my second degree is really important to me, and I'm excited about pretty much every class I'm going to be taking. I guess I'm scared that I won't pay enough attention to academics and be relying on this job, instead of having a really impressive academic background and work experience. I don't think this even makes sense. If anyone has thoughts on this situation, I would love to hear them.

You are not making a lot of sense, you just sound like you are afraid of being overwhelmed.

Go for it. Challenges make you better.

Has he cemented her into his kitchen floor yet?

Yea I think you should go for it. Like James said, challenges make life interesting!!!

I don't know if your school offers online-based courses, but if they do, that is definitely something you can consider doing so you don't have to worry about making a class for a lecture or what-not... you can do the online stuff at your pace. I've taken a few online-based courses and they have made my life sooooooo easy
