I did distance education while working full time to finish off some electives. It worked well for me, but then again, I did the following distance ed courses:

History of Espionage
Chinese history
and
Japanese history

I had to do a weekly night call for a couple of them, and I took the day off before the exams to just study, but they weren't hard.

As long as your university and work can allow enough flexibility to work and do the courses, you'll be fine.
