I personally dont work, and all my time goes into revising, but I know a few people who do. They work part time of course and I think they tend to try and do most of their revision in school and in the mornings so as not to burn themselves out. That way at work they can still do what they need to without the stress of everything schoolwise.

With that being said I also have a freind who couldnt juggle the two so she sent her resignition (i think thats what it is called) letter through so that she could focus on school more as she was finding it difficult. But regardless I bet whatever path you chose you will smash it.
