In May I will graduate with my associates in Graphic design, sitll deciding whether I will get my bachelor's right away... but anyway, I am taking 15 credits in the fall & spring. When I went to advising day last year, they said I need to quit my job because school will get hard. But I can't afford that... I am pretty sure all of my classes are fairly easy (2 are the second parts of classes I've already had, an online class and a portfolio - getting ready type class). So what should I do? I have no idea how I can quit my job... I don't think I can... I might work less...

Can you keep your job for now, and see how it goes, and cut back hours or quit later, once you know whether you can handle it, instead of just guessing how hard it might be? What they say are just recommendations right?

I borrowed alot of money, so I wouldn't have to work as much. It made things easier, but it kinda sucks to pay it back.
But it was worth it. So if you need to borrow money to work less, maybe that is an option for you too
