Full-time worker is out-of-time student - Washington Post
It was about 2 a.m. when Kate Premo looked out the window of her apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side and saw that every other window in the neighborhood was dark. She was up typing market research for a project due for the graduate program she had just started. And in a few hours, she would have to go to work. That was last semester, and she remembers thinking, "What have I done?" But then she consoled herself with the knowledge that there were at least 33 other people in the city — her classmates — who also had full-time jobs, were trying to earn a graduate degree part time, and were probably staring at their computer screens at that hour as well.... How do these new students balance full-time work, which can include off-site meetings, projects and long hours, with part-time school, which includes intense projects, class time, readings and more?
