Is it possible to retain a part-time job while in PT school? Or is that just impossible/crazy talk?

Some students are monitors, tour guides, or office assistants. Monitors can study while they work. I don't know anyone who works outside of school, except part-time students.

Yes, it is possible. Some of my classmates have part time jobs. I am sure it's not an easy thing to do and definitely makes balancing things more difficult, but it is possible.
 
Definitely possible with an employer who is really flexible with short notices and exam schedules. Most likely in the 2nd-3rd years.
 
A few of my classmates have very flexible part-time jobs where they can study at work, or teach an exercise class once each week. No one works more than that, though.
 
I worked most weekends and some weeknights during my first 2 years. It is definitely 100% possible. Just depends on how good you are at time management.
 
Some schools with throw a few thousand bucks your way after the first year for being a research or teaching assistant...
