Right now I am finding it very hard to balance school work with work. I am taking twelve credits and living on campus right now, I work forty minutes away in Montgomery county. I work for a guy landscaping , mostly mowing lawns about twenty hours a week. I do that two days on Tuesdays and Thursdays but, I have to get my car to and from the satellite lot which ends up taking a lot of time. It may seem like just a summer job to most people but to me it is a lot more. I have worked for him for two years now and this last year my boss, the owner of the company, has been talking about me getting my own lawns and slowing making the company. He wants me to take over it in four years when I graduate and he retires.
This puts a lot of pressure on me to keep working even when I should be studying. I dont really know what I want to do when I graduate but I definitely don't wanna ruin my chances with taking over the company.
I lose two full days a week almost when I should be studying and doing homework. Luckily the mowing season will be over in about a month or so. I'm really looking forward to be able to study on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I will then be able to get more sleep too. Until then I'm gonna keep working hard and studying when I get a chance.

I am in a very similar situation to you because I go to school Monday, Wednesday, Friday and then I work Tuesday, Thursday. I am also finding it hard to make time for doing school work and studying. Anyway, I think it's really great that you might have a good job waiting for you after you graduate. Very few college students have that kind of opportunity.
