<prompt> Human: Hello PF, this is a weird question but I want to see what everybodys experience is regarding it. I graduated high school a half a year early and since then have moved up at my current job as a assistant manager. I work a minimum of 46 hours a week and am worried with college coming up if I can still handle the same work load. I do not want to find myself in a situation where I cannot perform the same as I am right now and burn all the bridges I have worked hard for these past months. I plan on going to community college for the next 2 years and am wondering if working 46 hours a week and going to community college full time will be too much to handle or not. As I know someone from the Internet cannot determine this for me, I just want to hear everybodys experience on this type of situation and what they did when they went to college after working full time and how you dealt with the loss of income after you had worked less. Thank you  <response>: Ive done it. It isnt impossible, but it requires you to stay on task and accept that your free time will be limited. Apply for scholarships and grants, which can permit you to work fewer hours hopefully and still pay your bills. Some people will apply for maximum student loans and live off of the extra money. While this is an option, it is also a great way to rack up debt quickly.
