When I started ATPLs I was working full time. I found it quite hard to study in the evenings, never mind mornings after doing approx. 45h and working 6 days.
I was moving very slow and the whole thing was just dragging out.
( half of it was my problem,laziness and tiredness)
I got fed up it with it, and I decided to go part time so I could dedicate more time to my studies.
This worked quite well for me, I was able to go trough books much quicker,learning better without being constantly tired and wrecked from full time job.
I do miss the funds from full time work, but it's only a temporary solution.
So each to their own. It is all down to your capabilities.
