Good morning, I am currently a Senior in Computer Engineering over the summer i took 4 classes one of them were algorithm the teacher was not that great and failed half of the class (including my self), i didnt study as much as i could for the class so i kinda deserved failing, So at the moment i need 6 classes to graduate (18 credits), I am Currently working as a software engineer making ok money, So employer has told me that when i graduate he will double my salary..
So basically if i take this 18 credits i can graduate but... I don't have financial aid so i have to pay for my own classes, i probably don't qualify for financial aid because i have taken to many credits (3 major changes), so student loan is out.. which means that i have to pay for all of it, i already payed for 12.. So i would need to pay with a credit card the other 6 and i have a lot of debts.. If i take 18 credits i can probably work 20h max per week, and barely get by.. or i can choose not to graduate and take 12 now, which would allow me to work around 35+ hours per week and then take 6 on the spring semester.. or suck it up and take 18... The problem is by taking 18 there is the chance i fail a class and wasted all the effort (specially since i have to take that same class i failed with the same professor)...
At the moment i reallllly need the money... But i also want to graduate, and if i do ill get double what I am making now at 40 hours a wk... not sure what to do :(
