CC - I'd go with not working if you and Ian can afford it. Not even certain about picking up that extra class. But if you need the job and can get it, go for a campus job, they're better about working around class hours, grasp the concept of mid-terms or finals. Pox on your current employer! Sounds like they don't want you to grow, except into something resembling black mold.
Good luck!

CC, I went back to school in September. I opted not to work, even though I have the time to. I wanted the experience of being a full time student. When I got my first master's years ago, I went at night while I was teaching. It was so hard to keep motivated. Any part time job I could get now would be a pittance of a salary and I don't really need the $. Sure, I've had to cut back a little, but the extra time I have right now for riding and other stuff, along with my studies is precious. The next 2 years of the program, I have to do a 22 hour a week internship and take 3 classes each semester. I can do it, but I am really not looking forward to it. I can do one class each semester as a weekend format (give up 2 full weekends to get the course done) to lighten the load during the week. It will be painful, but my other option is to take a weekend class in summer school, which to me is riding time, even though I'll be free all week.
Working on campus is a great solution. Many of my peers are doing this.
