- Did full-time school, instead of attending nights/weekends, really help you complete your degree more quickly?
- Were you able to network more, gain more research experience, etc.?
- What are the pros and cons of attending graduate school at night/weekends/online versus full-time in-class research?

I was a service tech at a chevrolet dealership for 9 years. Business was slow so they laid off 6 people there, I was not one of them but it helped me to decide to go back to school full time. I have been saving money the entire time I was working so that helped. I am in a two year course and I will graduate on time, but two years is a long time to go without a job and income, and I will definetly run out of money before then. If I would have decided to take up night school my two year course would turn into a 5-6 year course, so it just depends on how long you are willing wait to reach your goals. Whatever you decide, good luck.

I left work at age 43 to attend a full time MBA program. I eventually decided to go on for a PhD in Finance.
I would recommend going full time if you can get into a top program, and also do not want to stay in your current company. It is a great way to change directions or fields. However, it does not pay off if you don't go to a top program.
If you just want to learn the material and stay at your current company -- then a nighttime or weekend MBA makes sense.

Some companies will give you a leave of absence and pay for your education if you promise to give them back at least two to three years after graducation. If you decide not to go back to work there then you owe them the money.
I did grad school part time and liked it, but it was a specific part time masters program of "older" students.
If you are doing a science, you almost have to go to daytime labs, so I think it depends upon your major.

Dude its better to just quite work and go all out at school to get it over with. I quit work and got federal aid to go to school full time. Night and weekend school will drag on forever.

How plenty greater will you're making with the degree? Is it well worth it? I advise you dangle onto your contemporary job until the economic gadget improves. it would suck in case you stop you job, spend a 12 months at school and then no longer have the flexibility to get a job once you acquire your degree. confident, levels are significant yet secure paying jobs are greater significant. bear in suggestions - do no longer provide help to training intrude with your training!!
