22 Hours a week at UPS + 16 credits a semester ... too much?

I had a schedule similar to this for awhile, and it is doable, but difficult, to be honest with you. After about a semester and a half of all that I felt really burnt out and cut my time at work back to 10-15 hours a week. It is not TOO TOO much though, so give it a shot and see how you feel. If you are overwhelmed, then drop one class or cut back the hours a little bit. Don't keep trying to do it if it becomes too much for you because then all sorts of crappy stuff will happen- grades will suffer, immune system will be down, etc. Good luck!

For a while I was working 40 hours a week and going for eight credits a semester... that kind of balances out with yours because it was almost double your hours and half your credits, so we can kind of compare. It was alot for me, but it was definitely manageable. I think you'll do OK, but everybody's different. If you feel worn out or your grades start dropping, then just try working less hours (if possible). Good luck! I hope it all works out for you.

16 semester hours = 32 hours of out of class work. Education is not a spectator sport. If you don't want to learn go into political science or business.

no, it is not too much. i used to take 6 subjects which carried 19 credits a semester with minimum 24 hours a week of McDonald delivery. you have to learn to manage your time well. choosing your priority for your time is very important. school is not only place for you to study what is available in book. it is also a place for you to manage yourself. there are no books in the world to teach you how to manage yourself accept you try and error.
my advices for you are reduce the time of working when exam is around the corner, do not skip lecture, and do your assignments and projects.
with god bless, you should able to do well in your exam and land a suitable job after graduate.

I wouldn't want to say if its too much or to little but i think the most important thing is for you to be able to know how to maintain your balance in that you don't become one sided.Then spear some time to rest its equally vital

depends on what your major is
and how effiecient you are
many people have succeeded with that load or bigger
and many people have failed with a lesser load
I think that is pretty normal for a working full time student.

It is good you are working. But take a break so you don't get stressed out.

I don't think so, so long as you can stay on top of your studies and always go to class.
