I was not able to work a traditional "full-time" job for the 12 years it took me to complete both of my degrees at Southern. I may have worked full time hours, but the jobs were all of a nature where I could come and go. I cleaned toilets, sold stuff, worked in industrial maintenance, started a consulting business for doctoral students, was a church planter, pastored a church, and did a LOT of home and auto repair. I did many and most of the above all at the same time in some years, depending on our needs at that time. For instance, I was a pastor (parsonage and utilities was my pay) ran a Snap On sales route, fixed cars and homes on the side, did doctoral dissertations, and took 12-18 credit hours all at the same time over a span of 3 years. Those were 20+ hour days and there was not a week during semester where I did not pull at least 1-2 all-nighters.

I'm on board with formalizing study via school. Best decision I've made so far.

OK I see, thanks. Right now I have a flexible job, they are very good about me leaving if I need to and they will support me during this time.

Right now is a good time for me as I am single, no family, and have the time to study.

Thanks again.
