How many hours should i be able to work if i am taking 3 masters level courses. One of which is statistics, and apparantly in my school is accompanied by a lot of homework?

thanks

1. Are you crazy?!?!!!

Statistics alone will take all of your time!

2. i took 2 classes last semester and 45 hour workload

i was irritable though

5. Stat is a hard one. Try to schedule it alone if you can.

You are far too nice a person to demand so much of yourself that you become irritable.

3. are you a masochist?

THREE masters level classes, at the same time, AND work?

I took statistics while working full time, but it was one of only two classes, and the other was a 'sleeper'. The homework isnt difficult, just a LOT of number crunching, and very tedious.

I think you can do it, but you'll need lots of caffeine.

4. i would try to get by working just enough to qualify for my

insurance benenfits this semester. you will burn out if you are not careful. trust me, i know x(

6. Since I have done this, I can say...

that I wouldn't work any more than 10 hours a week. You can work, but it would be very difficult to complete your reading (especially if it's intense, theoretical reading). Also, if that statistics class calls for any type of group project, I'd especially keep an eye on your work hours.

Good luck!

7. I worked full time and took 2 Master's classes for 3 years...

And my husband and I renovated both apartments in our 2 family home. When I think about that now I cannot figure out how the hell we did that. More energy back then I guess!

Good luck!

11. Depends on what kind of job you have.

I work for a large financial institution and probably "work" 4 or 5 hours in an 8 hour day, so I'd have time for some schoolwork during the day if I had to.

12. I thought you sold your apartment and were getting a break from working?

maybe 20, if you just want to hold onto your job while in school....best of luck! :hug:

16. i would still like to work some.

13. It all depends on whether you are willing to give up all free time.

You can carry that load plus work a full schedule. I did it for a few years. I had no outside life, though.

14. no, i have a gf and she is important to me. so i cant really do that

[ThomCat]

15. Please work only part time.

Statistics is going to be a time-consuming course. :(

17. I've seen people do it with up to 60

Generally depends on the person. I tend to "waste" 20+ hours a week for example, but some people -need- time to waste. :P

18. I used to work 35 hours a week while going to school full time

I was in the engineering school...so my classes ranged from Stats, Calc, Mechanics of Materials, Boolean Logic...etc

The key is to get a job that allows you time to study.

I used to also work weekend night shifts...I could log 16 of those 35 hours by working Friday and Saturday graveyard shifts that no one wanted...

I could study all night and my drunk friends would bring me food and stories of their debauchery...
