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.
I did an AA at community college and some work toward a bachelor’s right after high school. I moved out of my parents’ house because it was a toxic environment and the added burden of working a full time job drove me into a deep burnout where I dropped out of school and stopped going to work. I’m trying to set myself up with savings and whatnot so that I can focus completely on studying, which will take a few years.
