This isn’t a side gig but I thought this group might be good to ask…anyone do an online degree while working? How long did it take to complete?

I did my MBA online while working full-time and had a baby halfway through. CHAOS. I took just under 2 years. Time-blocking saved me, and Sundays were sacred study days. It was brutal at times, but honestly, finishing it with a newborn made me feel unstoppable. Totally worth it.

Hello

I haven't, a good friend of mine did though. He completed some kind of finance program in 18 months if memory serves correct. What kind of degree are you looking to obtain?

So it will depend on the degree and also what’s going on at home. Are you married, do you have kids, are you a male or female, does your job stop at 5 or do you do shift work, where is your head at? All these things play into it. I got my masters while working 40-50 hours a week and it was in person in my 30s but I wasn’t married and didn’t have kids at the time. It took 3 semesters. If I did it now, it would probably take 3 years.

Married with young kids so I got a bit going on so I know it’ll probably take me longer

I went to WGU for accounting while working as an AP clerk. I was able to transfer my community college credits, so I did 2 years. At WGU, you can finish faster though.

I did my MBA online in 5 years. Look cycles off between some classes in the last couple years. If I hadn’t, I’d have completely burnt out.

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?
