What would you do? School

[Johnny Drama 5,000+ posts]

So the company I am working for will pay for the rest of my school. Im pretty excited about that, but...I had planned to quit working and just finish up as fast as I can. Cramming 18+ hours a semester.

Help me decide...

1)Work 40+ hours a week @ $21.50/h(raises likely) taking 6 credit hours for a total of 2.5 years. Work pays for remaining school. Move out into apartment as well.

2)Work 20-30 hours at BS job for spending cash. 18 hours per semester to finish in 2 to 3 semesters. Continue to live at home (and pay rent)

Which would you rather do and why?

I chose a mix of option one and two.

I work 40 hours @ $21something, take 9 credit hours per semester, and live at home (and pay rent).

living at home at nominal rates facilitates saving. How do you think I max out my Roth IRA contributions?

If you are going to ******** the money spend on room and board, then move out.

Yea i think flips right, Because its your parents man..not some douche bag that will kick you out because he has better rents..So if you could stay at the parents and go to college that'd be better..hell man in 2 years you may not be in your parents home..maybe with a gf or something in a spot together who knows...

Now fix my grammar you Grammar Nazi.

Im not sure if I can handle the 9 hours and 40+...end of last year I was working 60+ hours a week and getting my arse handed to me. Not sure about adding 9 hours to that.

They know that if I start I couldnt work those hours again, but they are fine with that. I however am not sure.

It isn't that bad....I mean, yeah I was doing homework while watching the super bowl, but that stuff comes with the territory.
