Do you think I am over doing it?

Really depends upon what the classes are and what work you do.
Some jobs allow you to study while on the job, such as receptionist, security guard, etc.
Also, some classes are easy. So, it really depends on the details.
My senior year of college I worked full time and took 11 or 12 units each quarter. I slept about 4 hours a day and sometimes 6 hours on weekends. I was so busy yet I enjoyed every minute because I loved both my job and classes. Good Luck!

It's hard but it can be done.
I was 40 years old, worked full time running a trim press in a foundry during the day making car parts and carried a full credit load at night until I graduated with honors in computer science. My husband did all of the household chores so that was a tremendous help, but I still averaged only 4 hours of sleep a night.
Good luck.

Kudos, friend! I just completed a program similar to the one you describe. Yes, I found it is kind of pushing it, but the payoff is quite satisfying. A question for you -- do you have the support of your family, or are they fighting you? It is far easier with support, and will take much perserverance either way.
I found eight to ten credts is just about right to maintain a good balance between work, school, and family.
I wish you well and good luck!

Trust me, I waited too long now I am 36.. I have about 60 college credits and no motivation to finish.
Get it out of the way, the sooner the better.

Yes. It is not impossible but it will be hard. Consider maybe taking half that while you get used to the college.

that's alot, but if you're ready to apply yourself, and make the commitment to finish the courses while keeping your job (in other words, no partying, late nights, and very little spare time), then you'll do it. If you really want something, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Time goes by real quick. If you can keep up with it, when you realize again, you are already in the graduation ceremony
