This is a common situation, I've known several people that ended up in it, myself included. Most of them ended up dropping out of college because working 40-50 hours per week at the same time as taking a full course load at university is a surefire recipe for burnout. It also makes for a pretty poor college experience generally. You can spread it out over more years by going part-time but that has its own costs. It really is a very disadvantageous position to be in.
