I don't really know what I want to go to school for yet, I just know I want to be able to see the outside, while being either sitting on my ass or inside most the time. Here's the choices.
Heres my current bills:
Car- $5200 160/mo- 3 1/2 years left
Orthodontia- $3700 195/mo- 2 years left
Insurance- $250/mo
Cell-$70-80/mo
Option 1: Stay working where I'm at(40+ hrs/week, 7:30pm -5:30am typically). and take classes one or 2 at the most at a time till I get enough so that I can quit and get a job in the field I want to go into.
Option 2: Quit current job, go to school, and find a part time job or 2 just to scrape by.
Option 3: forget about getting any kind of degree, and go take some classes at a tech school or something and get into a job that probably wont pay the best, but will get me out of the shop.
Option 4: Stop thinking about it and read whatever you guys wrote as option 4.

I'm pursuing option 1, but that suits my own situation. My job is tolerable and is advantageous to me in a number of ways, btu eventually, I want out, and so, I'm doing one or two courses at a time until I'm done.
You have to evaluate your own needs, however. I have a mortgage and a family, quitting and returning to school FT isn't an option, maybe for you it is?
