I work full tim and go to school part time, except there are a few semesters that I do go to school full time as well as part time, plus I have a 2 year old daughter. I've never been so exhausted in my life but it will be worth it in Fall 2010 when I graduate!!!

I got an almost full scholarship so I did work to pay for my medical expenses. However, my job downgraded me to working 2 hours a week and it's not worth it anymore, so now I don't work and use that time to focus more on all my extracurriculars and more study time.

I'm a full time student that doesn't work. I worked before going to school, then did 4 years in the military to pay for school. Now, I just attend school using the GI Bill and scholarships.

I have done all except the last one.

I've been full-time, no job. Got bored. Full-time part-time, was still bored.
part-time, part-time. Yeah, really bored. Part-time and full-time (current), fairly engaged.

Full-time and Full-time (in the fall) I look forward to this.

Edit: No, im not taking 17 credits, but doing what I do... I see no reason to 'rush' out of college.

Part time for me with a part time job or a full time job. My husband on the otherhand, went to school full time and worked 2 jobs, one full time and the other part time! He would go to school during the day, work after school at an ad agency and then work all night at the local 7-11, where he'd do all his homework and studying, catch an hour or two of sleep, then went off to school! To this day, he still doesn't sleep much. I'm exhausted! LOL

I took full loads and worked 12-15 hours on campus. That was my unaccountable spending money. Granted I went to school in the 70's when it was affordable for parents to help out or foot the bill. I did work a full time and a part time job during the summer to pay for other expenses.

I go to school full time (taking 17 credit hours this semester...ugh), and work part time around 30 hours a week ($11/hour). All the money that I make, I save and use for my apartment as well as for a future down payment. It can be stressful, especially this week since I had 3 tests in one day...I schedule my week to be MWF work 7:30-5:30, TR classes all day long.
