You need to better the situation and in 2 years, it'll be done. Every single time you skip a class, push off something ... it becomes easier NOT to go back.

No school = a pause on life.
He's gotta pause on life as it is.....The baby will be born in a semester...Theres no way he's finishing up school in 6-7 months..unless its just for an associates.

But it's not impossible

but dude, you need to keep moving forward. You can't stand still.

No matter what, money dries up. An extra $1,200 worth of idle savings is not worth the time lost by working at a minimal (compared to post graduation) rate.

I know you worked your ass off for me and everyone else on this board to live the way we live now...and we appreciate...But life happens and stuff gets pushed aside.
Nowai dude, setting school aside just makes it that much easier not to go back...

If he has to work twice as hard to finish it, I say he goes for it, I'm sure he can do it... Living and raising a kid with mediocre salary would be difficult

And Pete, good luck to where ever this takes you man, I guess you missed my advice about "they can't get pregnant if you do it in her butt"

Well yeah, this is my second year of college and I only have 2 semesters till I get mt Assoc. I think if I take a bunch of courses in the summer I could reduce my load for the following semester, which will allow me to be home for a bit and still be with the kid for the first couple months. After that it's a serious crunch for my BAS.

if you need to be at home, look into online courses. See if there are any available.

If mom and pop are home, I'm sure they won't mind watching the lil critter too. I know lots of couples who did that.

I'm guessing, but by the sounds of it ... he'll be at 48 to 50(min) or 60 (crosses fingers) by May.

You'll also get to park in the kickass parking spaces reserved for "expectant mothers & families with small children."

if he puts school aside now, he will never go back. if it does, it will be 10x harder.
