First question I'd start with is, what do you enjoy doing? Do you prefer your job at the company? Or are you really keen on your studies? Do you think it is more important for you to have your degree? Or is the work experience your getting going to be enough for you. Whichever you like less, is there a chance you can do it part-time? If you don't enjoy school, is there a chance you may not need your degree? I can almost hear rebuttals about how you may need both, and that it entirely possible. But you're going to have to learn to prioritize. The reason I suspect you could do part-time is because as a software developer, you're hopefully making enough to cover your costs during college. I also suggest that not everybody needs a degree in computer science. I don't have one, and I do fairly well in this industry. HOWEVER, I think there are some very specific jobs and people who benefit from a CS degree. Those people are way smarter than I am, and understand every data-structure, algorithm, etc. etc. However, I find it rare, in this day and age, that we actually use these advanced techniques. But if you want to be using that stuff later on, it may be best for you to stay in school. Lastly, I want to disagree with your thinking about coping with the amount of stress. There are people who have been under much less stress than you. Stress can be a good thing, and I sure wish I had learned to deal with it when I was younger. Meditation can help, exercise is very important, so is keeping a perspective on things. When you're stressed realize that you are putting that pressure on yourself at this stage. You're not building life/death mission critical applications, you're (hopefully) not working so hard while putting yourself into debt trying to keep up with the medical bills of a loved one in a country without poor medical insurance, etc. etc. There are people who are struggling with these very issues, luckily you're not them. Talk to your boss, and let him know how you feel, maybe he'll have a solution. But I'd suggest you can do it, you may just need to find a way to make it work for you. Stress can be good, you just need to learn to handle it.
