My dilemma, regarding work and school. Any advice would be great..?

Currently I am 29 years old and work full time that pays an entry level salary (35K). I am working a position doing something that I don鈥檛 really enjoy, but do not really dislike. The people I work with are all very nice, and the company tries hard to promote a team atmosphere.


I also attend university and I am able to take around nine units per semester, and my projected completion date is fall of 2008 with a Bachelor in Art (emphasis on Graphic Design). And my plans after that are to apply for graduate school for a Masters in Architecture. (3yr program)


So, my question is really. Do I continue working full time, and going to school part-time? Or do I take the leap and get a part-time job, and do my best to get school over with. The real dilemma is that I鈥檓 29 years, and I don鈥檛 like the thought of not having a lot of money. At the moment I live comfortably, I eat whatever I want. I go where I want, and I鈥檓 able to save a decent amount of money. I also don't have many bills.My dilemma, regarding work and school. Any advice would be great..?
My advice would be to keep doing what you are doing. Even after the 3 year program you'll only be 33 when you have your masters. I know at 29, 33 sounds old but it's really not. The way you are doing it now, you are able to live comfortably and put money in savings. If you switch the way you are doing work %26amp; school then you are liable to end up head over heels in debt. Hang in there, 4 years will pass before you know it.My dilemma, regarding work and school. Any advice would be great..?
That is completely up to you - if you can finish school sooner by working part-time and eating off the $1 menu than do it. The return on your investment may be better than what is going on right now. I mean 5 more years of part-time school is compared to what if you take the leap??
