There has been some changes at my current full time job which decreases my enjoyment at the position. I've also been a bit tired about the lack of time that I have to do everything. Working 51 hours a week, parenting A by myself and school leaves little time for myself....I want to complete my degree and focus my energies to working in the field that I'm passionate about.

I'm considering quitting my full time job just before summer session classes begin(assuming that between summer sessions and fall semester would provide the balance of my core classes) and taking 2 classes per each summer semester and 2 for fall which would allow me to graduate by Dec 04.

What I would attempt to do is support myself as much as I could do with keeping my library position and perhaps trying to work as a grad assistant through the school. This would cover approximately 50% of a bare bones budget. I've got tuition in the bank but would need to borrow about $5000 to make sure that I could pay my mortgage. I could get basic health insurance through school as a student.

My biggest concern is being able to get a full time job once I've completed my degree. I would start searching before I did complete the program.

Do you think I should take a risk and do it ? Do you have any suggestions for me ? Is there something you think I should pay special attention to that I might not have thought about ? Do you think I'm being too risky ?

Please give me any feedback you can offer !

Thanks !
