Im trying to make some decisions here.
Is being full time in college and working full time reasonable and possible?

I did school, and 2 jobs. School: 2 days a week, all day. Job 1: 3 days a week all day. Job 2: All weekend all day. IT SUCKED. If you can avoid working full-time and being in school full-time, I suggest you do it. More money is cool, i agree, but give yourself some social time, it will save your relationships with friends and make life less stressful.

Oh yes, very possible. Whether or not you should do it though, that's another question.
I work full time, and am taking accelerated courses. Basically a full course load. I've been doing it for the last year. I have almost an entire afternoon free every week to do what I want. It's very hard to find the time to do things that you enjoy. Parties are out, dating is pretty much out, TV, computer...you have to be VERY good at managing your time.
Still, people do it, and do rather well in their classes. On the other hand, many people do quite badly...

When I was in college, I worked from 8 to 5... school from 6:30 to 9... homework till 12 every day and homework all weekend.
Are you ready for that?

When I got my first degree I worked full time 11pm-7am and went to class from 8am to 1pm depending on the day, for 12-15 hours a semester. It can be done if you're motivated.

If you find a job where you can do your homework and they are flexible with your hours. I did it working in a small hotel ... I always had a few hrs each shift to get stuff done. Of course, I only got paid like 6 bucks and hour, but that is another story.

It depends on the courses. Its hard, but possible. Is there a way to cut it to four, more managable.

I did it -- but it was difficult and it took a toll on me physically. I had to -- my siblings and I buried our parents while we were very young adults and we had to work to put ourselves through college.
so YES, it is possible -- but be very aware of your times -- because you will go from work to school to homework to sleep to work to school to homework to sleep and not have any free time.

Possible, yes......but you will kill yourself trying. I nearly wore myself out with FIVE upper division courses with a part-time job.
