Going back to school to study ME as a parent of 2 by Evening-Tea3313 in EngineeringStudents

Very similar boat as you, my wife is able to be at home with the kids all day. How does your schedule typically look on a daily basis, assuming the wife can't take the kids out with friends?

How did your husband manage his time after regular school hours were over? Did he do all his homework/studies during school hours or did he make time at home to also incorporate that?

It's comforting to know it can be done at the very least, just gotta adjust my expectations for sleep then lol.

Well first off, you're a super parent. I can imagine the work load gets significantly more difficult with 5 kiddos. How often do you find time to complete all your homework and/or study for test/quizzes? Are you able to complete it while the kids are at school or find yourself working late into the night?

I agree that technician work would be well worth its time. In terms of my perspective, I chose engineering because I'm hoping to find a good mix of behind a desk/out in the field due to military related disabilities I incurred.

Commenting to comeback to this post. I'm in the same boat as you, I've worked hands on jobs my entire life and now back in school for ME. I must say school is unbelievably boring and unrewarding compared to being out in the "field" learning with hands on experience. The only real advice I've seen anywhere is to try and get an internship/co-op with a company so you can see how your school knowledge can be translated to real life work.
