Really don't know what to do and would be grateful for any help / suggestions

I currently work 35 hours per week over 4 days in a job I adore, I also work for a different company for 6 hours per week doing a similar job but at a higher level.

I have recently started some study that will be 7.5 hours per week with an expected 11 hours self study per week.

Total 48.5 actual working hours plus the 11 self study

I have 2 dcs - 18 and 13 so not babies but I still need to do house stuff too, they are helpful and DH is also supportive.

This situation will only be for a year, would you give it a go and see how it all went or not even attempt it? I am just worried that if I drop the 6 hour job I wont get back into that field again and the money is brilliant for the 6 hours that I do so we really would miss it if i gave it up. I have been waiting to do the years study for ages so not doing that isn't an option as I have also secured funding, I could cut back my hours from 35 to say 27 but again a pay cut.

I fully appreciate to some this may be a normal working week and maybe I am worrying over nothing but your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!
