they are supposed to put in 30 hours of studying. That would add up to 45 hours worth of school work, which is already over the typical 40 hours a week. or, is the 2 hours of studying for every hour of class inaccurate?

Because most students do not put in 30 hours of studying. Also the students who take 15 credits and have a part or full time job end up skipping classes and doing a sub par job on their school work (just doing enough to barely pass the class).

I did 19 credits and a job....
First, the 2 hours for every class is bs...but i find it kinda equals out when it is all said and done. For example I never touched my history stuff but I easily spend 30 hrs a week alone on my environmental science classes..
As far as the job..I got one with a lot of flexibility and I would take my class syllabuses in to work with me and request days off right before scheduled tests or big projects.
Of course, I don't sleep much...but my time managment skills have gotten wonderful...as I sit here on yahoo answers :)

No, but there are 168 hours in the week, so if they spend 65 hours at school and working, that still leaves more than 100 hours for other things. As a professional, I tend to spend between 70 and 80 hours working per week, which is pretty normal among my colleagues, and I still have time for my family, playing on Yahoo! Answers, and some other things (although sleep seems to get shortchanged on occasion!).

I am taking 12 credits and working about 30 hours a week. It's hard, and it takes a lot of dedication, and little sleep, but it is doable. My tip is to schedule, if you can, classes a couple hours apart during the day, so you can study, and then work at night. I work at a restaurant, so that is feesible. Also, stay ahead, don't ever fall behind!

I carried a 15 credit workload, and sometimes 20 credits, while working full time and graduated with Honors. My coursework didn't involve that much study time and fortunately I had a job where I could get some study time in there.

It is not as hard as it sounds. I load all my classes on two days, both eight hours straight. Work the rest of the days, and study at night. And The Beatles were right, there are eight days in a week - thats the day I have off.

that would be very difficult... it also depends on what job it is and how long that is...there are 168 hours a week so someone could take a bit of time off sleep and eating schedules although that is not very healthy

Its kinda hard. I did it for a semester and it included getting about 4hrs of sleep, no breaks and no life. I ended up completely stressed. Had to take the next semester off to recuperate.

I did that and worked two jobs. Just didn't sleep much. Caffeine was my best friend.
