duckWit56705yYes. Super character building if you apply yourself to both simultaneously. Lots of constant, hard work refining you in a fire.
-
bioDan61595yYes. Difficult but worth it. Especially if the other option is taking a student loan. Save that as a last resort and never use it although i know that at times it may be very tempting

I started a dual study almost three years ago, like this I still have a life beside my job.
For my master I'm going to do 13h/week with a decent pay.
I don't know if dual study is a thing somewhere else in the world besides Germany though -
remove32595yTried to hold 2 part time jobs in my first semester of uni. Almost killed myself and ended up at a community college instead. It all worked out though.

Jacker335yI have 2 coding jobs and Uni but well I already have my batchelors done years ago and the masters dont really matter that much so I dont stress about it..

I'm doing it now, I just got hired as a full time dev while finishing up my full time (online) degree. It's tough, but worth it.

agentdax565yYes. Full time university 12+ credit hours and working 35 hours over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

35 hours a week? In Germany that would be plain illegal. As a student you're allowed a maximum of 20 hours/week and 40 hours/week during semester break.
Otherwise you're not considered a student any more and loose all advantages that this brings.
That said, I usually work about 35 hours/month from home and make a typical student income with it.
Currently (during semester break) rocking two programming jobs at once.
I definitely could use more sleep (or coffee).
