<prompt> Human: Heres my situation: Im a 28 year old engineer with 4 years experience in my field, making 70kyear pre-tax. The goal would be to quit my job and work full-time towards an engineering masters degree and complete it in 1 or 1.5 years. The assumption will be that Ill be able to get a higher-paying job afterwards.By the time I would start school next fall, I will be debt-free and have about 10k in the bank. My grades and recommendations are good enough that I can likely get a scholarship to cover tuition at my local state school. I would cover my living expenses with personal savings and bank loans, and maybe work a TA position if I can land one.And of course the fear is that I would be getting myself into debt instead of putting money into the bank as Im doing now.The reason Im considering doing this instead of taking night classes while working is because I dont think I can pull that off without going insane. When I work on something, I like to devote myself 100 to it, and feel that a 50-hour per week job engineering school social life girlfriend would just be too much to handle and Id screw up one or more of those things. Plus, Ill admit, it would be awesome just to go back to school for awhile, and Ill likely never have this chance again.So my question is, would I be screwing myself financially? If you have done something like this, what was your experience? How well did you fare in the end?Any advice or analysis would be appreciated.Edit: For those who asked, Im an electrical engineer.  <response>: Do it at night over like 3 years or 9 semesters. Most masters degrees are between 30 and 40 hours, and that is easily doable in 3 years taking 1 class a semester. No need to quit your job, you will regret it.
