    Unfortunately I going to be a bit harsh, not like me, but he could work full time and study. 18 hrs works out at just over 2.5 hrs per day which is definitely manageable. My dh works 2 full time jobs one from 2pm-10pm and another from 10.30pm-6.30am so I'm sure your bf could find 2.5 hrs per day to study around a full time job.

    I understand about short term pain long term gain but I worked more around a full time uni course, maybe once he has got into the studying mindset you could re visit finding a full time job?

    Is your husband Superman? He must be to work 16 hours a day on a maximum of 6 hours sleep. Even slaves are not worked that hard.
