I will never get a F*!@#$! education

I can't do it. I can't manage two jobs, a relationship, and classes. I feel like a failure and I am. Something is wrong with me or what I'm doing. I need to be successful at something besides what I do for work because it doesn't pay enough. I want my life to move forward, but I am what's in my way.

Not many people can manage two jobs, school, and a relationship successfully. Most that do that end up as upset as you are now. In fact, the majority of college students don't do that. I think it's important to prioritize on school, and allocate your time and resources toward that so that you can get a higher paying career job when you graduate. Have you done or considered the ways to handle this yet?

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Why don't you file for student aid (if you haven't done so already), and sit down and look at your finances and see how you can work one part-time or if need be, one full time job? Many times you can get grants alongside low interest to no interest student loans. If academics are good right now or if you have other circumstances, you might also qualify for scholarships.

Sit down, think, prioritize. Maybe whomever you are in a relationship with can help..............

to you for taking all that on. Two jobs and school are a lot for anyone. Whew!

I never had time for school, or two jobs. I was a single mom. I had to be creative and work for myself. I pay myself more, work less hours and came out with several businesses out of it and now I hardly work. Maybe you could look on Craigslist and find jobs that pay more per hour. I know that is what the girls who work for me do so they can go to school and run their dance troop and have boyfriends. My friend walked dogs, till she got her Phd. In ny it pays well. Maybe it doesn't in your area, but maybe being an assistant will. Or some other job related to you field. Also waitressing and tending bar are good.

You may be already on top of all this, so I apologize if you are already familiar with this. But I hope you find a way to work one job that can help cut down on the hours. I think it's great that you are motivated and responsible!

that is a lot to take on, and a good way to burnout. you need to try to cut down on the work, several good suggestions have been made on the score, and what about the relationship. is it good, is it supportive? if these answers are yes then ask for help from your partner, if these answers are no, maybe it is time to rethink the relationship. jmho

lost

Id say that two jobs, a relationsip and classes is really successful. Nothing is wrong with you =) i wouldnt worry about the future just finish your education and see what happens from there

Thank you to everyone who replied. I appreciate all of the thoughts. They are all great ideas. I'm going to do all that I can and think hard about what will be right for me. Prioritizing is of the utmost importance right now. I'm going to stay in school and during this semester and the next I'll think about whether that is the path for me, because it just doesn't seem like it's for me.

Thanks again everyone!!!

Post back often........never say never!!!

Have you considered that what you are doing IS THE PATH you are looking for, right now? I know how difficult it is, but few things worth having are easy.

Should I share? IDK: When I went to college I was a full time mom with 2 sons, full time account rep at a radio station, full time + (22 cr hr semester) college, and I also went to church 3x a week, and typed all my (then) spouse's college papers! Oh, and did I mention I also was a trainer for the Girl Scouts (but that was fun stuff!)
Over kill! You betcha! I worked out of 5 calendars. Some of the best memories I have though!
I think you are doing great!!!! You can cut back where you need to, you will still be successful Nothing is forever. You can add back in once you find other ways to save time and energy, if you want.
Look around and you'll see that really, most people are NOT doing so much as you. You might be comparing yourself only to those who also work 2 jobs and go to college, you know? Not the general population.
I hope you stay in college. Not only are you gaining the education that will help you get ahead of the rest, but the sense (true, real, genuine, deserved sense) of accomplishment is something no one will be able to take from you.
Good wishes!
