Hi I have been planning to go back college. The only program I am interested is about 50 miles one way. This is a fast track program as a Licensed Practical Nurse. There is a traditional LPN which is 30 miles from my home which will take me 2 years finish. The fast track is only 9 months, but the problem is its very far I have to drive 100 miles eacy day, everyday.
The question is;
First, Is it worth it to go this route/hassle?
Second, I am worried that I may not make it because I have bills to pay. I am working full time.
How can I support myself to go back school?
Deprived myself of not getting enough sleep?
Do I need to go to work full time at night and go to school full time and day time too?
I can not afford to lose my job at the same time, Im getting older and I just can't stay at my very low rate job either.
Please serious answers and respond only.
How can I do it?

Have you considered trying to get some student loans if they are available. I have some that I will have to pay back but they are extra for living expenses so I don't have to keep working full time while going to school. Talk to an advisor in the program maybe and take time to plan some of it out ahead of time
