How I did it: I worked two jobs and went to school. I had to cut down school to part time, and worked full-time at a computer store and part time in a restaurant. I'd say I worked about 70 hours a week for about 6 months, and the rest of the time I was just working full-time at 40 hours and attending community college while I could.

Lessons & tips: Realise this: you may not have much time for you friends and hobbies for a while. It's hard, but your closest
friends supported me will stay with you. My friends would understand that I was often
very tired and couldn't stay up so late.
Also, I did waste money sometimes, but when you work so much, you have to be able to have SOME fun.

Resources: Have a good support system - my family and my friends.
