My 17 year old sister is working 2 jobs this summer.

I, at 22, am taking 6 courses at Uni...fair trade I think, since it’s about 35 credit hours + homework.

You have my sympathies. Due to the compressed nature of summer courses, that load is tough. I'm only taking three courses at my school for a total of nine credit hours (20-25 hours of lecture per week plus homework and studying), mostly because I could not go over the ten credit hour limit without a signature from my dean, and I didn't want to push myself too hard...my next two semesters will be sufficiently challenging, and I will need some downtime to rest.

From Jan 1974 until June 1976 I took 18-22 units every quarter (Fall/Winter/Spring) then jammed in additional units over the summer. Finding Summer classes was challenging in 1974. In 1975 the summer yielded 10 units in organic chemistry + lab. The O-chem lectures met M-F 8 am - 5 PM non-stop. The labs were 6 PM to 9 PM T-Th. That was a great way to put an 'A' in the O-chem column for the lecture and lab with no distractions. The 4 year degree was completed in 2 1/2 years.

I had a friend who took 36 units at San Diego State. That's an insane amount of units. I was pleasantly surprised to see him finish the work without damaging his GPA.

Keep up the effort. That degree makes difference in starting salary. It's no picnic to finish in a compressed time frame.
