Am I right in this?

[straightmax12]

At the beginning of this year, at community college, I worked 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, night to morning, then because of the lack of getting enough sleep and only been able to focus on 2 out of 4 of my classes, I had to transfer to the part-time shift at my job. Months later, after I transferred to part-time, I transferred to a university and had to pay my tuition fee. When I got my tuition fee, i realized that the money I'm making right now isn't going to help me pay future tuition fees. So now I'm trying to go back working full-time again. That means I'll be working my old times again, and it'll stress me out like last time. I think taking 2 classes at my university will ease the stress. Am I right or wrong?

You make some good points dude. Trying to handle a full-time job schedule and a full university course load at the same time would definitely be super stressful. It's understandable why doing that last semester burned you out and affected your grades.

I think your idea of going back to full-time hours at work but only taking 2 classes is a reasonable compromise. It lets you earn the income you need to pay tuition, while also making sure school stays manageable so your grades don't slip. That's really important.

As long as you're able to keep up with the workload from 2 classes while working full-time, I don't see anything wrong with that plan. Just make sure you have a good schedule in place and make time for studying too. And don't be afraid to adjust again if it starts becoming too much. Your health and education should come before anything else.

Overall it sounds like you're thinking things through smartly. I'd say go for it man, but be prepared to adapt as needed. Balancing work and school is tough, but it seems like you've got a good plan to help make it work.

Thank you for your opinion. The sad part about my idea is that my family won't support it.

Man that sucks your family isn't on board with your plan. I get why they'd want you to finish school faster, but they don't have to deal with the stress like you do. It's your education and mental health at the end of the day.

Maybe try explaining to them again how overwhelming it got last time when you tried to work full time and do a full load of classes. Stress affects your performance, so going part time is actually smarter in the long run. Tell them quality over quantity - you just wanna set yourself up to succeed rather than burn out.

If they still won't get it, maybe ask your school counselor or advisor to talk to them too. Having another adult validate that your plan is reasonable might help convince them. Or see if any programs offer part time options specifically for folks in your situation.

Ultimately do what you feel is right for you, even if they don't agree at first. Prove to them with your good grades that limiting your hours and classes is the way to go. They'll come around once they see you thriving instead of struggling. Stay true to yourself - you know what's best for your situation.

Trying to work full time and take a full load at college will be diffficult. You may not have enough time to do the coursework depending on what you major is. i would take a lighter load and see how it goes.

Thanks, but the sad thing is that my family will most likely not support it.
