Did anyone leave their jobs for uni?

I am massively debating whether to leave my job and focus on university and living off loans and grants. I have a 10 month old who will be going into childcare while I am at uni, and a supportive other half who will help me through it. I am scared about the financial aspects of things! I have always earned and lived comfortably but I think I am going to really struggle to focus if I work, go university and be a mum all at the same time. Just wondering, did any of you leave your careers? How did you find it and do you regret it? Thanks in advance xxx

I quit my job. It was a dead end job and i wanted a total change of career.

The money was tough but managable. And im sure I'll make it up in long term earnings.

Sofabitch thats also the reason why I am contemplating in leaving. I am in a dead end job, no motivation and with absolutely no career prospects and on minimum wage. Thank you for your reply xxx
