Lets have fun with "scare quotes". No one told me I "had to" "either" attend university full time or drop out completely, so crazy me, I chose the 3rd option.
I ran out of money and motivation after about a year full time, man cannot live on ramen alone, got an offer for about 1/2 the pay of a real job but full tuition reimbursement while 1/2 real pay was still a modest integer multiple of minimum wage, so needless to say I jumped. Dramatic increase in standard of living, etc.
Personally I found one weeknight class (typically 2 hrs tue/thr or mon/wed) and one weekend class (typically a brain numbing 4 hr saturday morning/afternoon) was about right when things were boring, but family + work pressure etc occasionally resulted in only one class per semester. I knew people who tried to pull off 3 or even 4 classes with a full time 1st shift job, but they suffered horribly.
I studied and did homework every lunch time at work and very rarely did homework at home other than the occasional term paper.
