Are you happy with $33k/year? Is your job satisfying? Or is it a grind for you?
Firstly, it is up to you to gear your finances to be able to honor your financial commitments. If you can do that without a job, more power to you! However, if you intend to earn more money during your lifetime, then you need to finish your education. It is your key to advancement, and financial stability and security for the rest of your working days.
The choice is yours only, to make. People reading this cannot have the total picture of your predicament, and can't give you an answer that is guaranteed to produce results for you. Going into finance, then why not make a balance sheet? On top of the page put "THE GOOD" and further along that line, type in "THE BAD". Now, start listing in each column what is good, and what is bad. If you have more good reasons than bad ones, then that's the course of action that you should take. You will have answered your own question. Good Luck!

It sounds like you have the answer for yourself. You say that you are having a difficult time getting to classes because work is interfering. Well, if your plate is already full with all the volunteer work you do and classes, then doesn't it make sense to remove whatever obstacles are getting in the way of finishing school? It depends on what is important to YOU. We cannot make that decision for you,but we can make suggestions. In the long run the choice is yours. Here are some questions to ask yourself: How important is school to you? How important is this job you have? What about the volunteer work you do for rent? Have you established a repore with the people you work with, do volunteer work for? What are YOU willing to give up? What will it take to finish school? Can you realistically keep your job and still go to school and finish? Can you keep your grades up if you keep your job? What are the pros amd cons of keeping the job? What are the pros and cons of resigning? Hope this helps.

Two prospectives: One, I have recently received my Masters in Public Health. I have a good job and received a raise, but I only make about $34K now. I owe about $30k in student loans. Not sure you really get rewarded for education these days. Two, my husband only has a few credits toward his bachelors degree, but he has been with a company for 6 years. We make the same salary. I've heard more people without a bachelors or masters who make around $30k. I'm not sure that you will be rewarded with a better salary, but a least you will have accomplished your goal.
We aren't sure what to do about my husbands education. We don't have much in savings and no other way to pay for school other than more loans. Just doesn't seem practical to rack up more debt if he will be at the same salary when he comes out. Any advice?

The best advice I can give you is to get all the education you can. It is the single most powerful thing you will ever have. I'm 51 years old and I've been around the block a few times. To make the big bucks nowadays you have to have the credentials. This is a hi-tech world and if you don't keep up you get left behind.

School. You have to ask yourself where you want to be in 10 years. The money you lose now won't matter then. You are looking at an average of $30,000 more per year in income after age 33. That's about $2,000,000 more per lifetime if you include income from a larger portfolio plus pension/retirement income.
If you are getting great satisfaction from your current job then you have a much tougher decision to make.

Quit your full time job. Go to school full-time.
I did it. I took a loan out and worked part-time in the evenings and on weekends. Get it over with in your 20s.

Work out a budget that would have you spend less than $30k to live to get you to the end of your degree.
If you can't reasonably do it with some room left over for unplanned emergencies, I'd stay working.
Otherwise do it ... the faster you get the degree, the faster you can up your paycheck!

I'd say go to school. Finish you degree and you'll get a job that pays more than $33k.
