That's where I am at the moment. My wife and I really felt it important for me to just be a full-time student until I finish, and not let any job temporarily give us security. I was working at a pretty good job back when the 'dot com' world took off and then the company I was with went under. There is NO job that will be safe forever. I had minimal education but could have found something similar to what I was doing, but realized I needed to get the piece of paper. It's all about the degree(s) man. So I've been going to school back to back full-time for a few years now, tapping into all the student loans availabe, (it's an investment, right?) and working PT in the summer. Well I got a Bachelors degree last year and am currently in the Masters program now at my university. The connections have been great, and I see more of my fam because I just go to school and work in the summer. So my grades are better, I'm not trying to kill myself doing a full time job and school--tried that and my grades and family suffered. Probably the most important thing--My whole transition from the working world to student life, has made me more humble, relying on the Lord for help with classes, and helped me build my relationship with Him. God bless Hey Rae, this site includes a lot of employment resources:

A side note, I think going back to school is a great idea. That’s where I am at the moment. My wife and I really felt it important for me to just be a full-time student until I finish, and not let any job temporarily give us security. I was working at a pretty good job back when the ‘dot com’ world took off and then the company I was with went under. There is NO job that will be safe forever.

So I’ve been going to school back to back full-time for a few years now, tapping into all the student loans availabe, (it’s an investment, right?) and working PT in the summer. Well I got a Bachelors degree last year and am currently in the Masters program now at my university. The connections have been great, and I see more of my fam because I just go to school and work in the summer. So my grades are better, I’m not trying to kill myself doing a full time job and school–tried that and my grades and family suffered.

Probably the most important thing–My whole transition from the working world to student life, has made me more humble, relying on the Lord for help with classes, and helped me build my relationship with Him.

God bless

Anytime you lose a job, it can knock the wind out of your sails, so I will pray first, that you remain encouraged, second, that you find a job quickly, and finally, that God will make His Plan so clear that there will be no mistake that He is leading you to the right position.
