I may be unusual, but I have more free time in the summer, while working full-time programming, then I do during the school year. But maybe that is because I'm taking 17 credit hours (5 CS classes, all upper division) at once. I probably put in 60-80 hours a week, no exaggeration.
- goofygrin 19y agoI'd say that you're doing the wrong thing. I went to school full time (min 12 hrs) and worked full time (min 40 hrs, sometimes 2 jobs) the entire time I was in college (hey graduated with only $7k in debt though!). There is no way I'd have been able to, let alone wanted to put in 60-80 hours for course work (still graduated cum laude, 3.5+ gpa). Either you're in courses that you shouldn't be or you're doing too much "extra work." JMNSHO though...
- Psyonic 19y agoYou may be right. This is the last semester of my Senior year and I'm trying to finish my undergrad up so I can start on my Master's next year. My Junior and Sophomore years weren't as bad school wise, but I was working part-time during both of them, so all in all I was probably still busy about 60-80 hours a week. I guess my point is that I've gotten used to being really busy, and working only 40-50 hours a week won't be a problem. Sounds like you're used to being busy as well, working full-time all the way through school.
