I would disagree, however, with the idea that you can’t work 30 hrs a week and still do well in school, full time. I spent a huge amount of time in college fucking off, and still graduated with a good, but not spectacular GPA, and this was from a competitive private college, not a state school.
You have to be smart, and you have to have a real knack for your course of study. You could do it.
Financially, though? Yeah, I call bullshit. You can’t rent a room for his entire annual take home, let alone an apartment, and that leaves out utilities, food, transportation, etc.
