Single, working full time parent in college?
I’d like to finish up the second half of my college education and get my 4-year degree (2 more years worth) or get a paralegal certification. The programs for paralegal all entail in-class attendance (not online unless you already have a 4-yr degree).
I don’t see a way to do this without the main sacrifice being my son and I would never consider that. I have only nights and weekends with him so babysitters, etc. are out of the question.
How do people do it without abandoning their kids in the process or quitting their jobs?
Are grants/loans intended to take some of the place of working at a job? (part-time work instead of full time)?
If I could stop working all day, I could do it.
How do single parents finish college?

Take your classes in the evenings a few times a week so go part time to school until your son is a little bit older. He does need you, but not nearly as much as you think. If you can afford working part time and school full time, that would work well too.
