Hokay, so here's my situation:
At the moment, I'm 19, not going to college and working full-time. I want to go to college. However, I want to move out, and I have a car payment. I greatly desire my free time. My options here are:
#1. Quit my job, take a part time job and take out a of loans.
#2. Keep my job, take two or three classes and have no social life.
#3. Keep my job, don't go to school.
#4. Quit my job, take several part time jobs and have no social life.
#5. CoR Answer |

Is your full time job in any way related to what you want to study at college? |

Not in the least, otherwise, I'd consider having them pay for some of my classes. |

If you can handle living at home I would suggest it. Saves a load of money and you'll never have any living arrangement stress during exams.
So, quit your job, stay at home, take some casual shifts to give you drinking money. Drink. |

My biggest problem with where I live is it's about 15 minutes out of the main town in the area where the University I want to go to is. I'd rather live in town. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any problem with it. |

Yeah, that's kinda where I was going with that.
Can you get a job pertaining to your future studies, then six months from now 'magically' decide to begin studies, and hit them up?
What are you gonna study, btw? |

I live in kind of a ty area, I guess I haven't really checked too thoroughly, though.
I'm going to major in History, haven't decided on a minor yet. Probably a language, either continuing German or starting Japanese.

It's really more a pain in the ass. If I have to run home to get something, it takes me half-an-hour to get back. There's plenty of apartments within walking distance of the University. I can get a two bedroom for $750 with utilities and internet included within walking distance of the University.
Oh, also, I forgot to mention. It's 15 minutes when I'm going 80. :p
I live in the country. |

| There's other reasons I'd rather move out, pretty much a bunch of little things that add up. |
