How much studying during MFE program

[TRAB]

I'm just curious, but how many hours a week do you think students are studying outside of class as enrolled students in MFE programs?

Studying? Does homework count as well? If yes then for me personally around 6-7 hours a day.

Let's assume that most MFE students have a similar workload. How do some students then have time to do part time jobs? Some students work during the day, perhaps as an intern, and then go to classes in the evening.

The answer, of course is this: http://www.silobreaker.com/uc-berkeley-graduate-student-arthur-qi-dies-at-30-5_2265524486906314980

...but seriously it is very difficult. I have an internship which I thought I could do full time along with MFE. It didn't work out that well so I switched to part-time. Those who do full-time/full-time are either exceptionally bright or do not sleep.
