Part time was the pits..work like a dog all day, rush off at 5 pm for a peak hour drive to Newtown (Sydney Uni) hope the canteen was still open to get something to eat..two to three hours lecture home to wife and kids ( later on) and try and get some study in before you passed out...three nights a week I recall???
As to keeping on keeping on..my master solicitor had a career as an achedemic and was the Director of Man Power in WW2..but when he retired thought to do law so he would have an interest..when I worked for him he was over ninety...you could ask him a question and he would look over his glasses and say..go to ( say Helmore on Real Property...or whatever the relevant text book and there were a few..."Look on page 146 in paragraph (3) part b that covers it for you...incredible..but such a privilege to have him as my mentor...I learnt so much which set me up for the rest of my life...
