The sooner you earn your credits, the sooner you get your degree, the sooner you can get a real job and not have to flip burgers. So I would suggest the 9 credits and full-time job. Just try it. If you start to feel overwhelmed then you can always cut back your work hours.

Many of my students work full-time jobs and are GREAT employees. Their boss allows them to work part-time (or even take off a couple weeks altogether) during mid-terms and final exams. Their employer would rather give some time off than completely loose a great employee (because great burger flippers truly are hard to find).

Manage your time, stick to a study plan, let your professors know that you have a full-time job, and let your boss know that you are taking college classes.

Best wishes!

What do you think about building a career at McDonalds? They have management classes you know. And they have their own school. They will be more accomodating with your schedule if you decide to join up. Ask your HR department, they can help you decide.

Otherwise, if you want to change jobs after college:

Unless you have loads of money or if you have sponsors, I suggest being a part-time student. If you do have loads of money or have sponsors, being a full-time student is best. It saves you time graduating and getting a better job.

in case you like to artwork complete-time for now, then attend area-time. it incredibly is greater useful to take some instructions and fairly concentration and study the fabric than to slightly get by potential of in many. besides, in case you establish after a semester or 2 which you may fairly attend complete-time, you surely can.
