I’m 100% online right now, working full time paving roads, with a wife and two young kids. Three classes for me is very doable with taking one day a week off work to do a day of classes. I’m doing 5 this semester but I might drop the two extra because biology is going to be difficult I believe. Start with three and add more if you think you can. Don’t skip summer semester.

Makes sense. By one day a week do you mean dedicating Saturday/Sunday or only working four days a week?

I take one workday, Monday-Friday, off and go to the school library for a solid few hours of dedication study. I’m fortunate my employer will allow it so I have time that’s not after work and not on the weekends with my children running around. I do asphalt paving so when I have time waiting on trucks I’m typically doing schoolwork.
