Depends on the number of classes you take.. I plan on taking 2 a semester and doing research for pay or work in a hospital.
 
I take 5 classes a semester and work about 20-25 hours a week. I don't work to support a family, I just enjoy my job (it is also my favourite hobby).

I generally took 16-18 credits a semester while working 25-30hrs/week, and working in a lab 10hrs/week. Lots of people work during undergrad and post-bacs

Took phys+bio+labs, worked 10 hours a week, research 15 hrs, volunteered 5 hrs. I guess instead of all that I could have almost worked full time. Just keep in mind that whatever you make while a post-bacc is a drop in the bucket. It would be better to take out another 5k in loans and improve your application weaknesses.

Hope that helps
