I feel you hoss.
I have zero sympathy for kids today who cry about not being able to work, and go to school. When I was in college, I worked three jobs plus took 18 credit hours, per semester, for three years. Including classes in the summer.
I worked in retail out at the mall, I was radio station manager for my college station (as well as a DJ), plus worked at an area radio station. That does not even get into Union Board and all that other bullshit I had to do for free because of the station budgets, and b.s.. I also managed to fit in some internships, unpaid, in the summer months.
I was working like 60 hours a week, plus 18 hours per semester (required), trying to handle my car, credit card, and other living expenses. Sure, it was not so enjoyable, and I can remember a lot of booze or partying when I actually did have a few hours to my self.
However, it
can be done. You simply have to make a sacrifice.
