Wow that is a lot. I can't imagine going to school, working and having a child at home. You will need a lot of support and a lot of self discipline. I admire you for being so ambitious and I would say try it and if it is too difficult you can cut back on classes if you need to continue to work.
All the best to you

Well my boyfriend switched to night shift so I can go to school during the day and we can save money. We are not ready to put him in a daycare as of yet. But it gets hard for my boyfriend because he has to come home and watch the baby whenn he is super tired and its difficult fot him. If I do work I will only do part time because I go to school three days a week. But I don't want to put too much on my boyfriend he works 12 hours shifts.

I don't know how you gonna manage all these works together, but It isn't impossible to achieve though. I heard people got a full time job, and going to college full time too, and she still manage to get her scholarship and good grade though. I would like to know what she would have done so. For me, it seems a bit of difficulty.

I am sure that it would be hard to do it while also having a child. I did work both during high school and college and I done okay with it. I done better in high school than college as I really struggled for some reason in college. I believe that if I had been living on campus instead of off campus it would have been better.

I've tried doing this but it didn't work for me. It was a busy schedule for the whole week and I felt like I'd break apart so I had to put down my studies and focus on work instead. I was planning to continue my studies and got indulged at the temptation of earning your own money that's why it took me sometime to quit my job and get back to my studies. I don't even feel like finishing them any more so I suggest you just focus on your studies and set aside getting a job for the meantime.
