Wait, you don't have time for what? I worked full time + (IE overtime, IE 40-50 hour weeks), and went to school fulltime and also picked up 4.0's. The whole I can't work because I have school, or I can't go to school because I have work ordeal is lame at the most extreme levels. Deal with it. If you quit college your a fool. If you can't do both and excel at both your lazy. Get it together.

And the comment from Kstenerud about contact networks is probably the most important thing anyone will ever tell you. Without this, your worthless. Well, unless you are a true renegade in tech. But web designing... come on. You are competing with a zillion other people, aren't prototyping hardware, inventing anything (hardware/software/anything else), so it's more about networking, schooling, etc than anything else!

While I agree with the need to push yourself, and it might have worked for you, I disagree that this is a lame excuse in general.

Good work requires focus. Whether you can work and handle school at the same time also depends on your course load. If you are spending 70 hours a week on classes, an extra 40 hours a week (though not impossible) might not be worth a decrease in performance in both activities.

Or I can't do both because I am just lazy fool?.. I am really not a genius or something.
