How do I find time to go back to school and balance a full time job and family?

-Lu Lu

Dear Lu Lu,

School, a full-time job, and family: three quaint essential areas of your life where you don’t want to put on the back burner. You need school because, you don’t want to grow up dumb and even dumber. You definitely need a job unless you’re going to sell off your body parts for cancer and other medical research. You also need family, because you need support and someone to watch you when you grow old and smelly.

Well, something has to give and make way for the other. One thing is a fact is that you can’t give up your full time job. Someone needs to drive that ice cream truck dispensing those yummy bomb pops and firm chocolate tacos. Do it for the kids Lu lu, for the kids!

So that leaves school and your family. Here’s a suggestion: Go to school for a semester and take-off the next semester to be with you family. Unless you live with in-laws, then go to school as much as possible. I can’t stand in-laws in the same house and most likely they can’t stand you. So do them and yourself a favor; stay away as long as possible. You accomplish what you want, and they accomplish what they want which is to rummage through your underwear drawer.

You can thank me later,

JC
