I did the same. My schedule was:

- leave home at 7:30am to arrive to work at 9am

- work from 9am to 16 (so 7h, my company allowed me to do so with the corresponding pay decrease)

- university from 16 to 18 (sometimes 16 to 19)

- back at home between 20 and 21

- go to bed at around midnight

I did this for a year (I was 25 years old). It was hard. Main reason to do it was: don't lose a year of work experience, don't lose a year of salary.



I had a similar schedule when I was 25-26 and finishing my masters part time. I'd done the first half as a full time student, but needed to get a job and make money.

- Out of bed at 7:30am, at work at 9am.

- Leave work at 4:30pm or so for the 60-90 minute trip to campus

- Class until 8:30pm

- Home at 9:30pm

Classes were held two nights per week, so on the non-class nights, I was usually home from work by 6:30pm and would have a couple hours of studying to do.

It was an exhausting two years.
