Just keep focused and don't get distracted, working actually helps with that part...

What line of work are you in training for ?

You can do it! Trust me, I did it. I worked 9 hours a day, went to school full-time, and still took care of a husband and home.

Went I went there I was working nights 4 to 4 and going to school during the day. If you schedule classes right, it can be done. Won't be easy some days, but you'll get it done. Good luck

I used to work at the Isle of Capri from 3:45 pm til 12:15 am. I had class at 8 am and was in a mechanical engineering curriculum.

On another note, I had friends who went to sowela for I&E tech who passed some classes without ever going or taking tests. My friend took his first test and bombed it, never went back to class for the rest of the year. Got his final grades, got an A in that class...

I have done 10 hour shifts as a full time student, and 13 hour shifts with 9 hours.

Hell, I was working 10 hour shifts as a senior in high school.

i went for p-tech there while i worked for the sherriff's office it was rough when i worked nights. By the last semester i was completely drained but now it was all worth it. Just hang in and keep plugging away and think about the rewards when you finish that it was helped me get through it. I also took some online classes which helped out also.

I was a full time student and worked a full time job for 2yrs. lots of late nights getting assignments done, key is not to procrastinate.

I just finished i&e at Sowela last year. All the teachers are very good about helping you with situations like this. Quite a few guys I went with worked full time jobs.
