You can go home and party and still pass with flying colors. The trick is to study when it's time to study.
If you've been to college (a real one, with girls) it is very simple training and you can absolutely party and go home.
If you haven't ever had on your own studying, then it takes some adjustment. But coming from a high paying job would lead me to believe you know how to study, so you'll be fine.
And believe me, this is "build the plane" Brasilia class I'm talking about. Crj is pretty easy in comparison.
