Education question?

Just curious if anyone here on the forums has been able to obtain their Masters degree in any field and still be able to work?

With only a year of school left I've been tossing around the idea of attending a graduate school out of state provided I can completely rid myself of debt by the end of next year. If I were to go away to school and pay for it through loans, do you guys think with a masters level of academic load, would working part time to sustain myself be possible?

I'd consider myself to be an average student, but I've never really hunkered down into a strict school schedule. This semester and my following 3 that are left are the first ones I have ever gone to school full time (12 credits) in nearly 5 years since I graduated High School and I still put in 60+ hours of work a week. I've been working practically every day since I turned 16 and the idea of not working is a little foreign to me.

Just looking for some opinions or ideas. I'm a history major without the faintest idea of what I want to do with it.
