      I'm getting burnt out fast! I've been working on average 45-50 hours a week and taking 4-5 classes a semester for 2 years now. Hell, this past summer I took 2 summer courses just to stay on schedule. My social life is nonexistent...literally, I have no friends. My wife is hating the fact that I have practically no time to do married couple stuff, like go out or take a nice day trip on a Saturday. We don't have kids...thank God, but this work and school overload is killing my personal life. I am less than a month from getting 2 associate's degrees at 26 years old . I plan on going for my bachelor's and want to get it done by the time I'm 28.

      Anyone have any tips for me to help me get through this? Right now I'm considering just saying "fuck this shit, it's not worth my personal life being destroyed for a piece of paper".
      Giving up is the worst thing you could do, because then you'll kick yourself for wasting time going to school when you could've been working on building a career in something. Cut back on work. When I started working on my 2nd bachelor's degree (going for Electrical Engineering) I dropped down to working 2 days. I'm poor as shit now, but I can focus on school and am a lot less stressed than I was when I was working full time and going to school full time.

      3-4 years for me. I just want to be done with school, hoping to finish this degree before I'm 30. I'm getting friggin wrecked by this math. I went from thinking I'd never need it and neglecting it (through high school and my first degree), to falling back on plan 'C' where math is my entire fucking education. My last math class before this semester was college algebra, in 2008.

                  All my classes were half full or less yesterday and today. Profs were handing out that fresh EC for being there.

                    That's why I always go to the class right after a big test. 75% of the time exactly that happens.

                                Question for those who have taken dynamics. How much of it is based on statics? A little or a lot? Because I feel like I havent learned shit from my statics class (the prof the i was complaining about earlier in this thread) and im seriously considering retaking it with a different prof. Opinions?
