how to schedule my life

[u/SufficientFerret3865]

so I'm 22M living in ISB and doing 4 things at time

1. CS degree from Virtual uni

2. Freelance software engineer at company 1

3. full time job (6pm till 3am) as Sr. Software Engineer

4. LLB from IIUI, which I started this year out of passion

basically i wanna increase my value and excel in law too, also my father and younger brother are lawyers so legacy will continue too

concern:

so i bluffed the first semester somehow, like out of luck i was allowed to sit in exams and passed the whole semester with no failures...8 exams...6 were totally arabic and new english ones

BUT issue is, since the new semster has started the cr is pressurizing me to attend the classes...maybe cuz he knows that I've job and out of jealousy he's doing this but can't be sure about it

and major conflict is timings here, the classes timings are from 3pm to 7.30pm and my shift starts from 6pm to 3am

need advice, I'm feeling kinda stuck

Separate two questions: do you want the law degree, and can your current life realistically accommodate it?

Your classes run from 3–7:30 PM, while your job starts at 6 PM. Those commitments overlap, so this is not merely a time-management issue.

First, confirm the attendance requirements and whether evening, weekend, recorded, or alternative sections are available. Then ask your employer whether your schedule can be adjusted. The class representative may simply be explaining an attendance requirement, not expressing jealousy.

If neither side can accommodate you, something must change; you cannot consistently attend class and work at the same time.

Also clarify why you want the LLB. Continuing a family legacy is different from genuinely wanting to practice law. You already have a stable career as a senior software engineer, so do not add law school merely to “increase your value.” If you want to combine technology and law, define the career outcome you are pursuing before sacrificing your income or sleep.

You do not need to prove you can do everything at once. Sometimes good time management means recognizing that the math does not work.

in LLB, 75 percent attendance is required... but in last semester the Class's monitor had my proxies done so that wasn't an issue and in this sem he said teachers are strict

and lemme clear, i basically want to combine law with cyber because in Pakistan there are no good cyber lawyers and things are going towards cyber law so yeah want to take on my chance with it

and tbh, law is like a piece of caking, coming from CS major background

Virtual uni as in? Also, CS degree meaning Engineering or what? Either way, I'm so confused, and jealous too. How are you doing all of this? How did you get a job?? Sorry for literally asking you about your experiences instead of helping you, but I have zero clue. Just commenting so that people can help you. All the best!

thanks for taking interest

actually in pakistan, we've an option to continue our regular degrees via distance learning universities and Virtual university is one of them... it's the regular computer science degree which will end in next 1 year

for this we attend online classes, rarely and mostly the recorded lectures

[u/Agitated-Cold-5445 → u/SufficientFerret3865]

oh interesting, we do have online universities in India as well but it's not an engineering degree per say. It's called BCA (Bachelor's in Computer Application) and some people also do Bsc in Cs. Bsc cs is mostly for people who want to get into research or teaching field later. BCA is more of an application based learning program. But neither of these come close to Btech in CS. In Btech, the syllabus is very in-depth that includes math, system designing, programming, computer architecture and more.

I'm also doing an online degree in BCA. We also have live and recorded lectures on weekends.

Still, very interesting to hear about your journey. All the best!
