Tano is taking classes as part of an employment opportunity offered by his employer. The employer will pay for classes as long as Tano passes them. If he earns a degree, he will get a pay raise of 10%, but not until he graduates. Tano has been out of school for a few years when he quit college before due to a car accident he was in. Tano has to work at least 20 to 25 hours a week while taking 6 credits so he is pretty busy. His schedule, which was supposed to be pretty stable, is constantly changing as well which makes his life a bit more stressful. Because of the schedule, he is taking online courses to allow for some flexibility. He's doing great in one class but doesn't really enjoy the other class and all the other work so he is not doing very well. Also, his job sometimes gets in the way so he is not as actively engaged as he should be. Because he often works late at night, he tries to do his class work and assignments when he gets off work or early in the morning after waking up but he has had difficulty keeping up. His parents are supportive and have helped him with the school bills, but they also need him to help around the house a lot which also cuts into his study time. He studies at home where it tends to be pretty noisy, but that is where he feels most comfortable and no one bothers him much. He feels frustrated by the stress of work and home and is wondering what to do?
