So putting in 60 - 70 hours a week of work to make 4k a month a fine? I need a reality check that it's normal.

Becoming a lawyer. Too many things in my life points me towards this field.
I think the question is not if it's normal, but if you're satisfied with it or not- which in this case, the answer is clear. But to answer the question, I don't think your job is great as you can probably earn more if you held a costco job for a few years.

If you're able to find a different job that will satisfy your living expense and school expenses, while putting in less hours, you should make the switch.

Pursuing a career in law would be better than your current situation. Given that you're 26, not finished with your secondary education, and hoping to become a lawyer, you will have to make a lot of sacrifices to get there.

48k a year working 70 hour weeks doing graveyard IS NOT SOLID.
