are there people that decide not to work and just finish a two year degree? does that look bad?

i'm in my late 20s. and want to just focus on school. scholar ships will pay my bills. and i'm applying for a loan. will this be okay with jobs in two years when i'm done and haven't worked for two years? i can't handle it all. i'm studying natural science and math.

Going to school is an acceptable gap in your resume.

Or so I thought. Employers want idealistic perfect snowflakes these days, i.e. people who studied and worked.

If you can afford to focus solely on study, that's great :) A degree is a significant workload. Most employers will understand.

In a perfect bubbly world they do, not in today's ugly reality where every other guy can get a degree and outshine you because they worked and you didn't.

Well, I do recommend to iCrochetstuff to study full time because - like I have advised someone else here - college is already hard enough and you will be too tired after work to even grab a book. Everyone's been there, done that.

I finished my Bachelor degree by doing the job and right now I am doing my Master degree by doing the job.

Actually furthering your education can make a difference in the type of work for which you'll qualify, make you more marketable.
