<prompt> Human: Hello personalfinance, Im really hoping you guys can guide me since Im not that great at planning this stuff if this will even workIm going through a lot of significant changes. After teaming up and paying off some credit card debt, my wife and I are planning on getting a divorce. I want to add we have a 3 year old son.Currently I own a home with a 439 mortgage and a car payment of 143. I have credit card debt but my wife and I are planning on paying off most by years end.I have a job that pays 18hr and it is incredibly stressful and unrewarding, this is pretty much as far as I could go with it. I want to go back to school and I was wondering if it was possible to survive off of student loans ive never looked into them and a part time job.I can provide more details if needed  <response>: Its better to have something in mind from the start, specifically with a high chance youll land a better paying job. You cant judge it or plan it without that payoff. The best thing financially is to continue working full time while you pursue something, or at least until you get well into it. If you can complete the prerequisites and the go part timetake loans for a short time to finish up and focus on the key semesters it is usually better.It is something you can definitely achieve but look at it with the end goal in mind, not I hate my job I want to quit and take student loans for a breather
