I’m 26 former college dropout and just got accepted to UCSB accounting after 3 years of CC.

My question is, should i quit my part time job at a grocery store and just go concentrate 100% of my effort on college? Because this will probably be my last chance for a college degree and if i mess it up, this might be it for me. So i want to make sure i at least give it my best effort.

I will be getting financial aids and loans that will cover most of my fees, but i would still need to come up with a couple grand in the form of work study. Which i believe is working in the campus to for a limited amounts of hours.

From people who went to school full time and had part time jobs, which one worked out best for you? work study or off campus jobs? I’m currently finishing up my last courses in CC while working 30 plus hours, and i’m finding it very stressful. And i’m not sure if i can handle it with upper level classes.
