I will!

I think it depends on the job! For example, my job now doesn’t stimulate my brain at all so I know I could probably handle both since grad school would make me happy.

Mine doesn’t stimulate me either, but can you imagine I feel like it’s not helping me stay focused because I’m so bogged down by the unhappiness it brings..

Worked midnights at hospital emergency room while going to grad school. It about killed me. I’d bring my clothes, books, etc. and get read for school at the hospital at the end of my shift and then take off to school. Crazy days for sure

Sounds like crazy days for sure!
