For someone with no education, 17.50 per hour is definitely a very solid pay rate. You'd be hard pressed to find a position that doesn't require significant experience in a given field or supervisory responsibilities earning more than that.

The only thing I see being an issue is that the number of hours per week is not sustainable once you're working on a BA; if the number of hours are interfering with your ability to succeed in school you need to make a transition, either to fewer hours or a different company. Personally, I would suck it up and grind through until you have the requirements to enter university and save as much money as possible, because you will need to take on significant debt to obtain a law degree.

Major respect to you, not many people have the determination to begin pursuing such an intense degree program at twenty six.

Best of luck.

Sell the car, you're a student, nice cars are a luxury you cannot afford, because the cost of keeping it will directly affect the amount of student loan debt you need to take on. Harsh, I know, once you're mature it's tough to drive a beater, but in the long run it's the financially prudent decision.
