Back to School and Working FT

To give some context, over the past year or so I have been researching and mulling over options as far as going back to school. I’ve been with my current company for 6 years and am considering making a career change. There are a lot of personal factors regarding this and one of them is working full-time. I would likely go back to school on a part time basis, but am also wondering if anyone has done this? How do I approach this with my employer? This would potentially put me into a different career than where I’m at now and is not really related to my current position. I’m concerned that if I disclosed that, they may not support my decision, since I would ultimately have to leave the company at some point.

Not only that, but I’m also not sure how flexible they would be if I had to attend class in person. Would they let me leave? Not everything can be done online. I would appreciate your thoughts on this as I’m uncertain how to navigate it.

I have done it. I was fortunate enough to do my schooling completely online. Buyer beware, though.
Depending on the career change and type of courses you are taking a lot of courses can be done evenings and weekends.

A good company will support your professional development - if not financially, at least with concessions around time. Even if it means you would have to eventually leave the company to pursue your dreams.
Of course, not all companies are good ones. (Big news flash here.)
If this is something you are determined to do, have an initial conversation with your boss about possible issues so you can get a read on your boss' perspective. Then - decide what you want to do AND DO IT. Please, please, please don't sacrifice your future and dreams for your current employer - they wouldn't do the same for you.

Going back to school while working full-time really changes how you deal with documents. You don’t always have the energy to read long PDFs cover to cover, especially when they’re packed with theory, reports, or admin stuff you just need to understand, not memorize. I’ve definitely felt that overload. That’s why I got curious about tools that help cut through the noise. I came across this thread and tried what’s discussed here https://www.reddit.com/r/automation/comments/1mfjlhe/tried_pdf_gurus_ai_summarizer_heres_what_it_does/ . I used it on a few study PDFs and work docs, and it helped me quickly grasp the main points before deciding what actually deserved a deeper read. It’s not magic, but when you’re juggling work, classes, and life, getting a solid summary fast can be a real sanity saver.
