Would you keep working while you go to college? If so, and you're in a serious relationship, think about the impacts on the relationship from spending all your spare time and energy on school. Is it worth losing the relationship over? Because it may be that stark a choice.

Take a look at Western Governors University. They are fully online, and their courses are "if you pass the test, you pass the class" - you don't have to attend any particular set of lectures or be on any particular schedule.

Yeah I would have to keep working to afford the set back. I know it would take up probably the remaining spare time and energy I have and my partner says they would fully support me but I understand it's hard to know what it would actually be like without being in the situation.
