Working during college is not as daunting as it sounds. I worked the entire time I was in school, the first year part time, the last 3 years were full time (40+ hours per week). I graduated on time with a degree in Economics with as much of a focus I could put on Game Theory and Statistics.

>Working during college is not as daunting as it sound I don't find your suggestion daunting. I find it ludicrous - how does one fit in all their lectures and essay writing, tutorial assignments and work a full-time job. Did you skip lectures. As I did a modular course I had both essay assignments, tutorial assignments and lab work (programming, experiments, etc.) as well as about 30 hours contact time (lectures mainly). I suppose if I hadn't slept and had a flexible job that I could work at when I wanted and without any hard deadlines. Perhaps the key is the job you had, were you a life model of someone studying in a library?

  I went to the library to study nearly every night, except Friday night. I had no choice but to study, do assignment, projects and so on all day Saturday and Sunday.

  I had a real job. No sitting in the library for me. I was a jack of all trades type at my job. Some software development, but I dealt pretty extensively with strategy as well. I had very hard deadlines all the time. My job was 8-5 every day, but I would usually have to leave for an hour or so 3 times a week for class. That didn't really change anything, it just meant that I was working later than 5pm every night and fitting classes in later. It wasn't that hard. It helps that I don't stress about anything. But I would like to point out that I was not obsessed about my grades like some people tend to be. I carried a decent GPA through school, but nothing impressive. The nothing impressive was partially a function of my own doing and partially my heavy schedule. I was never pressured into getting great grades and never put that on myself. Mostly Bs with some As was fine for me.
