Was anyone able to maintain a full-time job while in school?
My mom and I were in college at the same time - she became an OT. I skated through on a communications BA while she worked her patootie off for a BS. I do admire her for her hard, hard work there.

I can't imagine doing that kind of program and trying to maintain a full-time job. A part-time job sounds really hard, unless it's something where you could study.

My mom went to Loma Linda University, a small private school in California known mostly for its education and work in the medical field. She studied with the PT students and took some classes with them.

It was intense, to say the least. I would liken what she did to a pre-med program. She used to study by grabbing me or one of my sisters and rattling off parts of our bodies - arms, legs, whatever, and tracing nerves and bones and tendons and muscles with her finger. Sometimes she'd even draw on us. She had to memorize everything, know how it all worked together. She really did spend about 80-90% of her waking time studying. If she wasn't sleeping she had a book or index cards in her hand.
