Yeah, I agree. But some of us are currently doing it, so it’s not totally out of the realm of ‘possibility’ if you will if you really want to do it. There is many ways to get it done. People shouldn’t go into things saying they won’t do it because of _some reason_. School is important these days (although, I do believe school is also over-rated in some disciplines and is primarily a business. But unfortunately, it’s the only way to advance sometimes). I work 8:30-4:30 and go to school 2 nights a week from 5:30-8:30. When I was getting my 2yr degree, I was going to school from 5-9 and working the same hours and back then I was an intern so I was working 40hrs a week for no benefits, no holiday pay, and no tuition reimbursement. It’s a tough choice to make and takes a lot of work/patience…but it can be done. I recommend people shoot for it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/opinions/256107)._
