Alex. I have been in grad school since July 2005, and I have been working full time the entire time (granted it's been in public schools, but it's still full time). I have also been 1.5 hours away from my grad school, so I've had to drive there on top of working and maintaining a social life. The past 2 years I have been taking 3 grad classes plus working. This semester and next I am doing my internship full time, attending 3 classes, AND babysitting (I don't get paid in my internship yet, so I have to bring in income somehow).
If you know how to time manage, you will be fine. I have been doing this since 05 and I have a 3.85 GPA (only 2 Bs in 59 credits so far). You could continue substituting and attend grad school at night (depending on what you want to do anyway). My program is all at night. It's not too hard, but you do have to hunker down and set a schedule, especially if you don't have time management skills or they aren't too good yet.
Short story...it can be done.
