Here's another thing to think about.

If you're making consistent money without having to break a sweat and it pays the bills, then just add school to the mix. I'm working a job that is low stress and doesn't require me to bring work home with me. Could I get a higher paying job in my company? Sure, but why run the risk of upsetting the balance between work and school when this meets my needs? I'm content with what I make for the next few years while I finish my degree.

Find a job that will allow you to get to school, and honestly, most employers will work around your school schedule.
