Hi guys,
I'm currently debating on rather I should head back to college for this upcoming FALL TERM or work 2 jobs to save money.
A little background about myself:
I have completed my degree in finance about 3 years ago but I blew all the opportunities due to suicidal depression. I have recently recovered from my mental illness to a manageable state and suddenly found myself "behind" is every aspects in life. I'm 26, turning 27 in a few months, and I have less than 1k in my bank account and is currently working part time at a fast food chain. I need help deciding what my next steps should be.
1) Find one more part-time job and start saving. Then, head back to college in FALL 2017 (Canadian government will be providing free tuition starting this school term). Also try to look for other employments at the mean time. I'm thinking flight attendant since 2 of my friends got in last year.
2) Head back to college this FALL TERM and work part-time on the side. The reason I'm kinda rushing to go back to school is I feel like I'm already too old for college. I'll be 28 by FALL 2017.
Going back to school is going to be a waste of time of for you at this point unless you're confident that further education will help you in the future. Working another job at least guarantees you money and adds to your work history, which makes it easier for you to get other jobs, like being a flight attendant, for example.
How many hours a week do you see yourself working between these 2 jobs.
Is it humanely possible to put in an 80 hour week without experiencing severe mental exhaustion?
