New York Jug

How do parents juggle college and families?

I'm a single person in my 20s, and I'm having a hard time juggling work and a full college schedule. How do parents juggle going back to college and their families? It just seems impossible.

1. Well my job (meteorologist) I've chosen to work completely at night and in the early morning. I'm taking classes during the day time towards my M.S. degree. My job isn't really really busy so I can study and do HW/school stuff on the job. It allows me to make enough to make mortgage payments and pay for other stuff. My parents (they are retired) watch my son during the daytime. Maybe get a job that lets you work at night time such as a security guard, maybe a waitress at a 24 hour restaurant and go to school during the daytime. You need to arrange for a babysitter. Maybe you have a family member who will be willing to help you out. I'd suggest doing some sort of security guard type job, where it isn't really too busy so you can study on the job and earn a somewhat decent pay.
