my feedback on your class titles:
1) i dont see any actual mobile development, eg android or iphone. just mobile web development. possibly it uses some sort of cross platform framework, but i'm guessing no.
2) considering that DATABASE CONCEPTS comes before SQL, i'm guessing it's some sort of history/essay class. aka garbage.

other than that, it doesn't look terrible. again, look at some programming before you start classes. at a minimum, learn some html/css from codeacademy or something.

if you can't do school work at work, then you might wanna consider taking fewer classes depending on what else you do. but if you can do your studying/coding at work, shouldn't be a huge problem.

Do you think the pay is worth the time? Or maybe I'd be better doing a less demanding IT class?, if so which would be easier, yet pay more than my highest potential pay. Of $18 an hour


i think it likely you'll be able to get a job paying 18+$/hr after you go through that. at a minimum internships should cover that depending on where you live (could be as low as 14$/hr), though it might not be with benefits

However you're not really giving me reason not to do it other than I wont like it or I shouldn't do it for money, but I am motivated to learn at this point in my life more than ever.

i'm not saying don't do it, i'm just saying try it out before you commit to it. and there are other options available for jobs instead of just programming. as long as you dont get delusions of making games, you should be ok.

I've played with a few things such as chat scripts and some flappy bird app and I don't mind it at all, it just seems like a lot of things to remember, which shouldn't be difficult for me, and I have no desire for making video games
