How much time?
#1
I'm just wondering how much time do you guys devote (per day, per week, per month) towards the pursuit of your degrees? Since most of this is self paced I just was curious as times will vary from person to person.

I spent between 0-20 hours, depending on "stuff". Typical was probably 10 hours. I went through my courses in roughly the same calendar time that a regular, full time student would have...which was a VAST improvement over the 8 YEARS I spent doing the first half of my degree way back when. The most important thing is to never stop. If you want to take a break, make sure you schedule exactly when you're going to pick it back up.

I put in between 30 to 60 hours a week (I aim for 4-8 hours per day, every day). Most months I manage to bring in 6-12 credits, though I completed 18 credits in October.

I would "binge" my schooling, so many times it was nothing, then maybe 20 hours a week for a few weeks to do multiple classes, then back to zero. I fit it in between my other duties, namely being a mom and homeschooling my kids. Not a ton of time when they were younger, but definitely more time when they got older.
