Many of you have stated that you've managed to attend school full-time, work and keep your families together. I'm just wondering what types of jobs you all have - hours, etc.?
I'm hoping to get into the Fall Nursing Program at my school as a full-time student. I'm currently the Director of a local Senior Center and as much as I "Love" my Seniors and my job - I'll have to leave the job to become a full-time student. Even if I'm not one of the lucky few that get admitted to the Program this Fall - I plan on taking a full course load - so either way, I can't continue with my current job.
We have 3 Sons - oldest is in College, so I definitely have to help out the family finances while going to school. My question is - what types of jobs do those of you who have families and are in school full-time have? My husband has been working the dreaded (4 in a row) 12 hour night shifts -Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday - at a local hospital for the last 18 years as a Peri-Natal Therapist. Let's just say - he's a little burned out!!! He's worked those awful hours all these years because of the night and weekend shift-differentials (pays much, much better than the day shifts).
Until I complete Nursing School - he'll have to keep those hours to help support our family. My problem is finding a very flexible part-time job to work around his crazy hours while going to school and still find time to take care of the kids, house, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
