    Still sounds crazy, but possibly manageable = ) Hope it continues to work out for you!

    Hang in there Aaron. It will all be worth it in the end. Once you get that education, NO ONE can take it away. Getting your degree like this will make it much more valuable to you. If you need some support, feel free to PM me. I've been there and know what you are going through. Good luck!

    Oh, and if all else fails, you can go to the Five Minute University! Warning, you may have to be of a certain age to enjoy the video:

    Hang in there. 3 semesters will fly by. You'll be happy in the long run that you endured the short term struggle.

So now I only work 40 hours a week, and will have limited traveling. Some is necessary for my job as I have to get hands on experience with new technologies that will be incorporated into upcoming projects. The rest of the traveling will be replaced with video conferences.

    Still a busy schedule but a manageable one... I'll sleep when I'm dead lol.
    Im glad you followed the advice, i think it will really end up benefitting you in the end. Still a busy schedule but much more manageable.

    Hope to see you still stop in from time to time!
