Stay in school and be happy. I work 80 to 100 hours a week almost all of the year. So suck it up and just deal with it.

I was in your similar situation during college. Working full time, going to school at night, studying all the time, only sleeping 3-4 hrs a night max.

But I didn't have an 11.0 second Camaro SS either. I drove a total shitbox back then, so your life can't be that bad

It will pay off later, these are meant to be the hardest times of your life.
