It's not stressful, it's paid for by school loans (you should be income eligible since you aren't working), and you might even have a little extra money left in your pocket from your student loans....I'm working and I qualified for loans. Even though the Masters program is more expensive than undergrad studies, I still had a nice chunk of change left in my pocket AFTER paying school fees.
Going back to school gives you a career not a job. Maybe try trade school...But, it depends on what you want. I enjoy school. Even though I work and things can be hectic, I really like it...
If you aren't happy with the things you are doing, you keep running into a brick wall, maybe try another option. At this point, I'm not too optimistic about applying for jobs. It's tough out there....If you're looking for a job now, your best bet is to network and get your foot in the door by who you know. That is really what it is all based on. I had to learn that. It's all about who you know. I am more than positive that there are probably several people applying for these same jobs you are applying for. Every time I get down about finances I realize that it's tough for a lot of people out there...Good luck...

going to school seems like a good idea, I've given it much thought and research, and turns out it's not do-able. The only college I could go to, doesn't offer student loans, and bursaries don't cover transport, and transport = hundreds of rands per month, it's ridiculous. My BIL is already putting my brother and niece thru college, I wouldn't dare ask him to cover my transport costs... So i need a job to go study... And even if I get a weekend job, it won't cover transport.
