You should be able to do both either get a night job and go to school during the day or vice- versa. It will be a lot of hard work but you should not sacrifice your career. On the other hand, babies have to eat. So you may have to work a little harder than you had originally expected. In the end it will all be worth it. Do Not and I repeat Do Not give up your life's ambition because your having a baby. You can have your cake and eat it to. But I can tell you one thing because you are willing to give up college for your child you are going to be a great daddy. If by some chance this was purely hypothetical, I would do whatever necessary to avoid having to make such a decision. Although possible it is extremely tough.

You have to be a man and step up to the plate and take resposibility for the child you just brought into this world.
By being a man you must take half of the financial burden from the mother of the child.
Education is very important, especially that you are about to become a father, Hopely for the first time. and for the time being the last until you have astablished your place in the world of fatherhood.
Stay in school and focus on good grades so that you can have a career. Work while you're taking classes to help pay for the medical bills and food for the child. And make sure you do a lot of praying to never make this mistake again until you and the mother are ready to be responsible parents.

You sound like a good guy to want to be there and not abandon the girl. You should most definitely take care of teh child. You should do whatever you have to do to do that. Get a job and help out. Go to school if you can like go part time or whatever. Try not to give up on your education, but don't abandon the child, either. The child is your #1 priority at that point. You have to put the child before yourself. You should still try to better yourself, though....when you can or as you can.

you might want to get a job and go to community college. Its cheaper and you get the same classes meanwhile you can work to support the life you are about to bring into the world. You need to get some kind of job. I would also recommend an English class so you will be able to spell correctly on your applications. If it is that hard to figure out, then maybe you should not be having kids.

Go to college,but don't just dump the girl!Many college students have jobs too!If you love the girl then let her know and it will be a rough go for awhile but love has away of making things go easier.Also if you plan on a relationship with the girl and your child maybe your parents can help out or even her parents!

Both! I would go to college part time and then get a full time job to support the baby. By going to college you will be able to get a better job in the future instead of a min wage job

You're going to have to support this child financially, so it doesn't appear that you can just go to school. If I were you, I would find a full-time job and take classes at night part-time. Once the girl became pregnant, your needs take a back seat to the needs of the child. And that child needs food, diapers, and unconditional love from it's parents.

You're going to do the right thing for the baby... And that means getting a job, attending college part-time (try a community college), and spending the rest of your time taking care of your son/daughter.

WELL WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS TRY TO DO BOTH, GET A JOB SO YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THE GIRL AND HER NEEDS BUT ALSO TRY TO ATTEND NIGHT OR WEEKEND CLASSES AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE, SO WHEN YOU FINISH SCHOOL YOU CAN GET THE CAREER YOU WANT AND BE A RESPONSIBLE PARENT

Go To School!!!!!!!!!1
do what you can for the baby & explain to the girl that you are there for her and the child & that's all the more the reason you need to be educated, and encourage her to do the same she can get grants & scholarships. I wish that my husband & I had done that, but we didn't & we're stuck with sucky dead end jobs.
