Soon to be father. Work or school full time?

[arfadugus]

Hi I am 25 and having a baby boy in February. (I'm stoked!) I'm currently in a job that has too many negatives for when my baby arrives. (long story short I have to quit and make a change.)

I have essentially two options and am looking for advice. (getting mixed reviews from family and girlfriend.)

Option A: Go to Community college on a Pell grant ($5,550) full time. $1,500 ish for tuition then the rest towards books and living expenses. And possibly get a part time job along side of that.

Option B: Find a full time Day Job (opting for something secure in the mean time instead of the jobless hustle)

If you guys could lay out some pros and cons for each option and even alternatives, insight, and helpful suggestions that would be great!
