I am currently working 40 hours a week and taking 12 credits...managed to leave work early for classes but having been struggling to keep up with learning and tests. Especially my curriculum is fairly irrelevant to my work. I am considering focusing on my studies and find a new job more in the scope of my degree once graduated. Thoughts?

Is their any chance you can ask your employer to switch to PT? I would try if I were in your situation. If not you should start looking for PT work to ease into if you want to leave your job.
@Horus:
Yeah I am scheduling a meeting with management this upcoming week to talk about this and see if this is an option. My only concern is that based on previous communications on this topic, they've been gaslighting me by saying that people should be able to handle full time work and school [maybe 1 or 2 courses? not 4???]. But still. I will at least initiate a dialogue and show that I am trying.
Do people actually say "gaslighting" outside of their women's studies classes?
Anyhow, just tell them that you can't. Don't put up with that horseshit.
Your school brand and GPAs can follow you. Job experience though, even if it's a bad one, gets wiped out once you get more.
@whattherock"
You mean eventually I can just omit this work experience if I had to...? It's true that I don't have a gap on my resume (full time masters)
there are jobs that people can do full-time before degrees. Doing those are like co-ops, adding an additional resume at the cost of cheap labor. doing FT job and FT master's is like offsetting the financial commitments, but then a big burn on yourself.
unless your current job made you a criminal, who cares your current job after you worked 4-5 jobs for 10 years, you know?
Haha you do have a point. Glad I asked about this here before I jump to conclusions& decisions.
I'm with you OP. For the past 2 years I've worked full-time while also taking 12 credits a semester. Add to that a commute of 1.5-2.5 hours a day and your time becomes pretty limited. The biggest advice I can give is to just stick with it, you'd be surprised how much you can handle once you get into the flow of things. Note that this may involve giving up other things (like going out every weekend). shoot me a PM if u wanna talk more
