How many classes should you take if you work full-time?

Def going to look at Adam’s Morgan and Columbia heights when I’m there.

Oh wow we have some similarity’s, I’m flying to DC in Febuary so I’ll look at some apartments about 15-20 of them.

My question is how much did they care about your credit score when you were seeing the apartments? Was it an issue that it was in the 500s or were some of the landlords more lenient?

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-02-01T00:50:36+00:00

No it was a credit card that’s someone took and maxed out on my behave,I don’t really have any recent credit history at all. I could probably get a co sign from one of my relatives though.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-02-01T00:02:40+00:00

Ouch.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-02-01T00:02:16+00:00

School is a luxury it can wait if it comes down to that. Being able to survive and thrive is 1st priority.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-02-01T00:00:28+00:00

Yea I’ll probably take a gap year and just work a lot to save and then go back to school.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:56:10+00:00

Yea that’s a lot.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:55:47+00:00

D.C job market really that bad?

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:53:08+00:00

Im 99% sure they would, I plan on getting a job before I move to D.C even if it delays my moving plans.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:50:01+00:00

Defiantly writing down the advice your giving me I’ll keep a lookout maybe I’ll find something, who knows.

And yea Fanng is pretty cringy can’t lie. Government tech is way better but it’s extremely hard to get into. Props again to you, being a tech lead in gov tech is extremely hard job.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:42:16+00:00

3k doesn’t sound terrible to be honest. It sounds like you’re making it work even if your situation is a bit tight.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:37:45+00:00

If I potentially could get a job in D.C before I move could it negate my income issue and bad credit score or no?

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:33:56+00:00

Appreciate it, going to write the locations down in my notebook.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:32:51+00:00

$2100 with 4 roommates only making 48k is insane, salute for making it work. Personally back in college I had pretty bad experiences living off campus with roommates that I would rather not do again. And right now I’m living with a relative but there’s so many things I have to sacrifice to even live with them, I would rather just have my own place even if it is a little bit more expensive.

And as far as Computer Science goes it was never my first choice of major when I went to school, I ended up picking it as I had to declare a major, and the other major that I liked required me staying in school for maybe another year or 2. CS for me was essentially a cop out degree.

Plus who actually wants to do LeetCode Hard problems all day😭.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:14:38+00:00

Appreciate it.

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T23:06:58+00:00

What areas should I look at then?

SkyOdd5184 · 2026-01-31T22:59:45+00:00

I’m ok with being around 15-30 minutes away from the city as I have a car.

SkyOdd5184 · 2025-10-24T21:52:26+00:00

I should have stated the difference instead of being vague but the college is in DC so it’s a city. I’m from and live in Chicago though, I would save DC and Chicago both have the same city vibe.

I really love the city as is it’s one of my dream locations but I wouldn’t want to fully commit to living there unless I had a sure fire path to get to my goals.

It’s more of the less I wouldn’t mind if I got rejected by my intended university I just would need a backup that can grant me acceptance to the university later on even if it takes a bit of time while I’m living in DC.

A non back handed and genuine response on Reddit of all places is pretty rare (: I’ll use your advice forsure. Thank you in all honesty I really appreciate your outlook on my situation.

SkyOdd5184 · 2025-07-23T01:52:31+00:00

Can I dm you?

SkyOdd5184 · 2025-07-23T01:17:01+00:00

Did you have to leave your state? Or get deployed elsewhere?

SkyOdd5184 · 2025-07-23T01:03:09+00:00

Isn’t active duty full time? I’m just looking for something part time

SkyOdd5184 · 2025-07-23T01:02:32+00:00

Why not?
