You could probably max out your daily schedule if you pick nothing but easy classes.

what killed me was 21 year olds taking 9 credits, without jobs ( rich parents ) complaining that between school and their shrink they don't have time to study :D

lol  :rofl

My most was 18 hours + full time job + volunteer work + life in general.

When I was in graduate school, they only let us take 15 hours...

I took 21 hours my last three semesters so I could get my degree in 4 years. (most guys in engineering went 5 years) Was basically running out of money. Not fun.

I remember the four stages of college:

Freshman: Wide-eyed and clueless
Sophomore: One big drunken blur
Junior: Not enough hours in the day to get everything done
Senior: Exhausted, nearly beaten down, and just plain ready to leave

< Is on the go 7 days a week.

I have uni, work or both every day of the week. Fridays really suck... Uni in the morning, work (outside) until 9pm, home and homework until bed.

I'm doing a double major in philosophy and sociology.

Final year.  :rock

Arts has little to do with a specific career for me.

Taking steps to train yourself as a thinker, writer and communicator is a set of skills that not enough people have these days.

It's a long-winded and expensive way to do it but it is a set of skills that you can take to any job.

While we're on the subject, though, I always preferred this joke:

"Pull here for Arts degree"

18 is the max at my university unless you can get your adviser to fill out a ton of paperwork. And advisers like to advise, not work.

At Riddle anything over 17 Credit Hours is considered overload and you have to get an advisor to sign for it. The way I'm going I should graduate with 2 or 3 minors since I came into the program with so many AP credits. I only have to take 12 credits to be full time and I am struggling to find classes to fill that time in for the senior year (we have to plan that far ahead for AFROTC)

Most I ever took was 15hrs, had a job plus an internship. Was the most miserable 4 years ever, ran on 3-4 hours sleep at most.

If you can sell yourself with your analytic writing ability you'd be surprised at the jobs you can get.

Be smart and make sure you have some sort of internship before you graduate that gives you practical experience.  That way you should have an easier time of it than I did; it wasn't initially easy to convince employers that I could apply myself beyond epistemology and moral psychology. :o

Who knows where I'll end up? It could really be anywhere.

Business, banking, funerals, art, music, computers, ethics..... I don't have the faintest idea.

24 credits? That's 8 classes right?  Who the hell can even manage eight classes a semester!  I doubt the college would even let someone take that many, as you'd have 0 time for real life.  :lol

Most I've taken is 5 classes - 15 credit hrs.  + Work, etc...  I'll be graduating this may.

You seem to have the same attitude I did.  Get ready for a post-graduation let down; it's a tough world out there. :P
