I am a 27 year old male. I have been working full time for a nonprofit making $33k a year. I am also half way to a bachelors degree in finance at a local university. During the past couple of years I have been going part time to school which has worked out ok. I am getting to the point now where I really want to finish my degree and go to school full time and get it over with!so I am considering quitting my job at the end of this year so I can give my all to finishing school. Financially, I have $30k in savings, my rent and billls are very low. . I also make a few hundred bucks a month selling on ebay on the side which pays my bills and allows me to not use any of my savings, I also don't pay rent cause I do snow removal and grass cutting for my building. My job would not allow me to go to part time. I am a very smart person but in the past have made some bad choices when it comes to school work etc. I am going for a degree in finance & accounting. What should I do?

School because you'll be happier and you will have more income.

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.

if you have really saved .......really no bs how much are your bills yearly.......include gas grocieres (sp) utilities, evrything you can think of including haircuts and the occasional beer......30,000 if your maiking now 30,000 wont last long at all. what year is your car.......any payments.....just for instence mine just blew the heater core........500.00 just started a transmission problem and needs a rebuilt engine......3000.00 its a 97 mits galant. not worth it....i have to find a used car in my budget. i have made 30,000 a year for the past 3 years but everytime i get ahead something happens. remember if its going well, something will happen.....unfortunately
all my car problems started within days of starting a job im making 3000 a month at......see what i mean.

That seems like pretty good money actually. Lots of people are graduating and not finding jobs even though they have a degree. I would keep doing what youre doing unless you have done research that gives you a LOT of confidence you can find a job, and a better paying one at that, if you get the degree.

Well if you think you have the financial security I would definately quit work attend school and knock the last two semesters out of the way, then get another job right after, with probably better working conditions, and definately more pay.

i've always considered finishing school very important.. you can always go find another work when you get your bachelor's degree and you can earn more..
good luck!
