I was wondering how feasible it was to do a masters full time, work part time, and still have some time for being socialable?

A friend of mine did a full time MA in London last year and worked 16+ hours a week. Think it was pretty tough but she seemed to find time to go out as well so it is possible!

Wow thats so impressive! Thank you!

Yeah fair play to her - don't think I could do it! Good luck!!!

working as a stripper would get you good money, and you can be sociable at the club at the same time. Best of both worlds

I think it depends on how tough and demanding your course is. I know of people who HAD to work during a really demanding course and it pulled down their grades considerably and they got into a lot of trouble for not handing in work/turning up for lectures. However if you are a well organised person who can go VERY far on lack of sleep, why not?

Ah Jesus now I'm being talked back out of it again! Its proving a very tough decison, which people have very different opinions on! And I'm afraid I really don't have the physique for stripping, but ta for the suggestion! x

I can give you my email address if you like, and I could tell you from a pic if you compare well to other strippers!!

I am going to start my MSc next week but now I have a full time job in hosptial. Does anyone have similar experience before, i mean Full Time job + Parttime MSc???

I am hoping to do a Full Time masters by research BUT work full time as well (40 hrs per week).
I am prepared to work constantly to get my taught modules done in the first 2 terms and hopefully carry out my research project with my company then I can spend time on it while I am at work.

Some of you seem to have had experiences of working long hours and studying full time as well. Does my plan sound completely bananas or possibley do-able?

This is exactly what I did and worked really well for me. Be careful about missing lectures as I almost got into trouble by missing the lectures for an entire taught unit as it clashed with my P/T job. Don't expect any sympathy from staff either - if you're registered F/T they'll expect you to be there and to do the work of a F/T student

Do any of you guys know a student that is a stripper because I want to get in touch with one for an article I'm doing for uni.

Yes, its tough but I managed to work 28 hours, do my MSc and be an officer in the student union. Just means that life is that little bit more fun and hectic.
