I work 50 hours per week hard labor. How the fuck do I go back to school? I want to do something like environmental science, ecology, marine biology, mycology for my bachelor’s and from there I’m not sure but I can’t keep breaking my body like this. I’m in the US, have no support network, and worried about how much everything costs and how to thread the needle of housing, food, tuition, loans, etc after quitting my job.
Idk what state you’re in but there’s a lot of options for online schools that will offer flexible schedules for people working full time. Try searching for a non-profit university that’s fully remote, and you might be able to find something less pricey and that fits your schedule. Fair warning: it’ll take up what remaining free time you have for a few years. Also I can’t speak on this for everyone, but I’ve got folks in my life still in uni/getting secondary degrees who were denied student loans this year, mid-way through their education. Hope you can find something that fits your needs.
