Answer 2

Once you are working full time it becomes extremely difficult for most people to take time off for more school, and outside of the military, I have never heard of an instance where an employee was actually kept on the payroll while they went to school instead of worked. If you have the financial means to take the time off from work and do this on your own, then don't worry about keeping the job you have. Get a new one when you graduate. Isn't that your goal anyway? In one sense putting your current employer on the hook for your upkeep while you go to school only to leave them the day you graduate would be pretty underhanded. Many employers, in fact, if they provide any tuition assistance, provide for a partial payback if the employee terminates before a certain point.

What you probably will need to do is ask yourself how much this is worth to you, both in terms of money and job satisfaction. Then you need to ask yourself whether you have the determination to do what it takes, which will probably be to work and study at the same time.

In today's US economy, upgrading skills is really critical to many people's success. From an employer standpoint, it says a lot about a person who is so motivated and disciplined that they will juggle and succeed at two such demanding endeavors at the same time.

Investing in yourself this way is very hard to do... that's why it is an investment. It almost always pays off, though, so I hope you find that you are willing to do this for yourself, no matter what it takes.

Answer 3

firstly well done for wanting to better yourself by going to college, but maybe you should look at improving your spelling first. (joke)

but that aside the answer to your question is easy, firstly look at when the courses start at your nearest college and what days they are. Then sign up to the course.

Lastly speak to your boss or whoever you report to and say I am starting a course in # of days/months and will not be able to work during those days or hours.

Then it is up to them to deal with it. The worst that can happen is that they will say you can't and you say "is that so" then leave and find another part time job that will allow you to work those days.

Its like this do you want to work where you are forever, if not look after number one and do the course.

Simple

Kept working and went to school online, I now have a bachelors degree. Daughter is doing the same thing. Will warn you though it is not easy and takes discipline. Myself made sure that I did my studying and homework about 1/2 hour after work daily, and made sure I took one day off a week from school.Once you develop a routine its not that bad Good luck to you

Answer 5

Either quit your job and go to college full time or keep your job and take night classes. I really doubt your employer will want to give you time off so you can go to school. Someone has to take over your job whether you're there or not. So you need to decide if you need to keep your job or if college is more important.

Answer 6

well, it kinda depends what your job is. if i were you, i would just talk to my employer about your situation. if you explain to them that you want to better yourself, and try to work out a schedule with them, it should be cool.again, it all depends on what you do. i work in a hospital, so when i asked to change my schedule for school, they just put me on a later shift.if they weren't going to work with me, i would have looked for somethimg else. you need to put education first, because the cost of living is only going to go up.it is hard working full time and going to school full time, but i believe it will all be worth it.GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Answer 7

if you are determined then negotiate a part time contract with your employer. Organise work around your studies and accept you will be in debt for a bit.

Answer 8

depended on you.whether you are more interested in studies or job.if study so shall join field of study you do your study and a part time job.when your study Will be finished you Will automatically get a nice job.during your study you Will get less money but when you will be more qualified so you will automatically get more money job.best of luck decission is yours
