Should I go full time?

Question

I'm 22 and just got my Associate in arts and I plan to go to a four year school to get my Bachelor. Right now I work part time and stay with my pops. But I was thinking I should work full time and get my own place and go to school part time till I get my Bachelor.

is this a good idea?

Answer 1

It's whatever you really want right now.

Finding your own place, paying for it, working 40+ hours a week, AND going to school will be hard, but it's do-able.  This is a decision that should be planned out. How much will you be making, what sacrifices will need to be made, etc.

Have you considered working part-time, living at home for a while longer, and going to school full-time? Or find a roommate. There are so many options, but you really need to assess your abilities, skills, and will-power for this to work.

Oh by the way, can you transfer any of your classes from your AA to the university you want to go to? This can cut your university time by 2 years.
