I say this because I spent three years busting bottom to get my BA because I felt like I was "supposed to." And I could have stayed in my high school fast food job and been where I am now, career-wise. I think you understand how I'm feeling, I'm sure Kentucky has the same kind of issues with the economy as Tennessee. Having a good job with reasonably high pay is worth cutting down on class hours, in my opinion. For the time being at least.
I can't lower my course load anymore because there is a min hour requirement. And you never really know what a class is going to be like till a week or two in and then I can't get all my money back for the classes and at $650 a credit hour, I can't lose it either.

I also don't *want* to quit school. I am looking forward to changing my career but while I am in school, I still have to work fulltime to support myself because I cant' afford to take out more loans than necessary and I don't have a spouse or family to help me take care of myself until then.
