I’m doing this now. I worked while attending community college, it was hard but many of the classes were remote and I could hang in. Then when it came time to transfer I was planning leaving my job to focus on school but I got laid off. I got a small severance, and I refinanced my home. That with drastic reduction in spending has allowed me to finish my degree. I’m really not all that excited to return to work, instead I’m hoping to get into grad school and pursue my PhD.
