On Balancing Career & College...

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-suggestions-from-those-who've-been-there dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Hi folks. Some advice please - I've been in university twice already and quit both times - the first due to lack of interest in the course and the second a combination of lack of interest and work pressures. The second time round, I started a tech company and it's now three years old and doing OK. I am now seriously thinking about going back to Uni to get a degree (for real this time ;-). Is anyone out there successfully juggling running a company and studying at the same time? How do you juggle the two without hampering either due to lack of the right amount of attention?"

    I also like to go out once in a while, and I have a full time girlfriend. See, there is your problem right there. You need a part time girlfriend. Possibly some sort of time share arangement could be arranged

    Is this option also available for spouses and children? I'm only really looking for a vacation family out in the country.

    During sleep your mind makes the transfer to long term memory

    Is that a cron job? with some beautiful screensavers (the dreams) running while the cpu goes off and makes this memory dump to tape backup?
