I'm 24, in school part time and work full time.
I love to game more than.. Well, any other hobby of mine. Honestly, I find it pretty easy to 'dedicate' time to the game. I set it up so my classes are in the afternoon/evening, two days a week, allowing me to sleep in some on those days unless I have errands I need to get done.
I work retail, so my schedule changes from week to week. I might close two nights, open three, and then the next week open every morning, so on so forth. I take a simple route to gametime. If I'm not at work, in class, or doing homework, I'm ingame. Granted, I don't have much of a life to speak of, but when something comes up - Say some friends want to go to a movie or something, it's easy enough to plan a time when I'm not in work/class/homework, and go. Those times aren't often so they're not a big deal.
I stay up till about 12/1AM, generally wake up about 8 or 9.. Have 5 dogs, so they're let in and out/fed/watered. One of them, I take for a walk every morning off.
Basically, to make this work for you.. Take your schedule, plan the important things if you're a planner.. And then just use the game to fill in the cracks. It's like ice cream.
