Uff, I started working part-time pretty soon after starting my bachelors and have studied and worked part-time for many years. It's terrible. Worst of both worlds. Now I quit my job and trying to finish my master's thesis.
What surprises me is, that he took so few classes. This seems to be different in every country (note: am in Europe). When I did a semester abroad, I got way more credits per class. Here all the classes are either 3 or 6 credits and you need 120 (30 for thesis).
Anyway, I do like the academic side of things and so many topics that I would have never gotten into (compilers, formal methods...), so I wouldn't want to miss it. Just wish I had finished sooner...
