Maybe try looking for jobs on campus? They tend to be flexible around your school hours and it's in the same place

so for ref i drive up every day of the week (barring weekends), it takes me an hour to get there and an hour to get home. i have like 2 classes per day, except for Fridays, and i try to be home before 5.

im a lil worried about getting a job there. i would prefer like a good job that i could work evenings (maybe like 4 or 5 hours a day after I come home from school?)

With that schedule, I don't recommend looking for a job unless the courses are easy-peasy and/or you absolutely need the income.

However, maybe you look into janitorial work at an office space or something like that. As for me, I did work overnight at a hospital while going to school, until I got a degree which was a dragged out experience overall to achieve it.

Now, I'm working as an engineering aide while working on a different degree since I need work experience to get licensed as a land surveyor.

Why bachelors in the US are relatively short? A Physics baccalaureate in Argentina takes roughly 4000 hours, looking through leddit I've come to learn that in the murica/UK it takes 2-2.5k hours

wat mean.......

Some of that is because the names of the degrees don't always line up. In the US, the general outline is:

Associate's Degree (roughly 2 years)
Bachelor's Degree (roughly 4 years) - this is traditionally the ending point for 'undergraduate study'
Master's Degree (generally requires 2-3 years beyond a Bachelor's, though some programs are designed to go directly to this degree)
Doctorate (generally follows a Master's, though it is possible to go directly from Bachelor's to Doctorate in some cases; there is a considerable variation in requirements depending on field)

In 13 years, someone will come to this thread, they will ask themselves "Why bachelors in the US are relatively short?". They shall have great joy at finding someone else has already asked the question. They will not, though, be happy when op says "nvm guys I fixed it"
