I would not say that. Some jobs are extremely demanding and leave you with little free time. But it’s a choice to go into that field/specialty.

man i refuse to believe in a job that takes over your life like that. Although this is highly subjective.
Jobs like that, totally burn you out and within a while you hate it and don’t want to do anything.
For most of the jobs out there, people seriously just don’t think they have the time to do ‘so and so’ but all they have to do is make space and make compromises among compromises and sure enough everything works out fine and you wonder how the hell you managed to pull that all off.
sure enough thats how it’s been going with me for the last three years of my dicking around in college.
An excerpt from - The Millionaire Mind by Thomas P. Stanley, Ph.D.
Dr. Stanley: How much income did you generate on your best day?
Extraordinary Sales Professional (ESP): In one day I sold about $8 million. Earned a $240,000 commission. That’s net.
Dr Stanley: What was you grade point average in college?
ESP: C.
Dr Stanley: How many A’s did you recieve in college?
ESP: At least one or two. I certainly would have had a lot of As if I had been paid a commmission for each A I earned. I work for money, not As.

You can have a job that you love but is very demanding that leaves you very little free time during the week. Still, even the busiest people can find time to get a workout in. It may just have to be in the morning. I suspect that I’m likely to train in the morning before work as a professional. Otherwise it won’t happen.
if you guys had all you can eat, consider yourselves lucky. I get 900 dollars per semester, run out of it in a month and a half, and then have to get a part time job to buy and cook food on my own. What a fucking hassle…
I’ve found that college can be great for making solid gains. Class for only a few hrs a day (and you dont have to show up) so you’re garunteed sleep time, all you can eat buffet (bring tupperware and empty water bottles to take home eggs, chicken, milk, etc), on campus gym membership already paid for, and most likely an indoor track for winter interval training. plus seeing fratboys do squat rack curls while wearing pink polos and lifting gloves to keep you laughing in the weightroom…P.S. if anyone pisses you off go to their kitchen and shit in their skillet its the best advice I’ve ever gotten on this website.

I am an incoming sophomore in college and I actually based my gym time around the varsity sport schedule. Cuz, they let us use the varsity gym whenever it’s empty. Luckily, I was able to go at my favorite time (early afternoon) and scheduled my classes around that. College really is the perfect time to dedicate yourself to the gym (no job, no worries). So, maybe take a look at your class schedule and base your gym time around that. And one more thing, if you really want to go to the gym, there is nothing stopping you . . . you’ll make time. Good Luck![/quote]
They let you go to the varsity gym? How’d that happen? Anyone else experience this? I just looked online at my school’s varsity gym, and it looks amazing, with the head trainer for it being a serious olympic lifter. I wonder if I could get in without playing a sport…

Yea it rocks! Whenever the teams aren’t training, there’s only me and a couple other guys. The trainer for basketball and whatever other sports use the room is a cocky lil bastard with a CSCS of course. But, I saw him once working out by himself with a T-Nation shirt on so it’s nice to know there’s a fellow T-man. Too bad he never posts on here . . .
Man your biggest worry should be eating clean. College is filled with students who leave home to do some serious boozin’ and pizza eating. Get a part-time job as a waitor or “bus boy” at a good restaurant, make $175-$200 bucks a weekend w/tips. That way you’ve got money for creatine and protein.

adding in a job changes everything. its rarely true that people who had so much fun had jobs that they needed.
if you dont have a job, you should have enough time to do two a days even with 18 credit hours.[/quote]
Easily. I had 18 credit hours for 5 semesters in a row and like i already posted i worked out 3-4 times a week for about 45 mins. I had an on campus job also and received fine grades.
