I second Chuck's suggestions.

Why the choice of working OR going to school??? At age 20, one can work on channeling that "partying" energy into constructive energy. (Those who manage to do this at your age are AWESOME!!!!) Take one or two heavy core degree requirements - English, American History, etc. (or four, if the summer is broken into two intense semesters) and lessons. Class attendance should occupy approximately five hours a day. Studying for these classes could occupy ANOTHER four hours a day (I assume you intend on aceing the classes), practicing for lessons could occupy three or more hours per day, and you could find a four hour per day JOB. Now, what can you ALSO do to help out your Mom and Dad on Sunday after church?

As I think you realize, at your age the summer is a time of opportunity and not a "vacation" time.
