I am a little concerned that you’re taking classes at such a slow rate and you’re still at 30-45 credits. I realize that it is unusual to work full time and go to school full time like I did, but if you don’t have any other major obligations (children, caring for a sick relative, etc.) you might be able to pick up more classes if you rearrange your schedule a bit or choose a different school.

You will eventually hit a ceiling in banking where a bachelors, then an MBA will be necessary.

However; I think that you should ask the bank if they have any in-service programs that could get you your degree.

The fact isyou are working for them already, you are trained at what you do and you are telling them I want to work in the banking industry and want to learn more.

Hope that starts your mind going

You’re not the only one who has had to work full time and juggle school. My sister did it for 6 years to get her Bachelor’s degree…and has been lucky enough to land a job that pays $25 an hour in a non-medical field.

Perseverance is the key. You have to struggle a little in order to get ahead…unless you are super rich, or have parents that are…but even then you will have your struggles.
