| I wouldn't want my son to marry a woman who is starting school in their 30's. Don't go near a person about to take on that much debt (even 50K) that late in life for a job that may or may not pay off. Sounds like a pipe dream, OP. |
| Live your life! Don't alter what you really want for a man. The right man will admire your drive and ambition. |
Op will easily be able to pay off the loan with a $150-200k salary. Sounds like op is planning her life. I admire her ambition and willingesss to change her life. Better to do that than be a SAHM and risk financial independence and security. |
35/36 isn’t that old. |
| Op you’re probably getting bitter advice from people who are unhappy with their lives or are a SAHM with no career of the own. Do it! Don’t take advice from people who likely never got an education. You still have plenty of time to marry and have kids. Many doctors get married in their 30’s and have kids. It’s never too late to pursue your dreams and better your life! |
| the only question that matters is this: Will going back to school and pursuing your dream make you happy? Yes? Then do it. If not, sure you could keep your same "good" paying job and find a man, but you will always look back and regret not going for it. I met my wife when she was in grad school when we were both 28. Our close friend just had her second child at age 44 so being 35 with a great new career ain't nothin. Do what's best for you |
OP, only beta guys care about a woman's education. I wouldn't worry at all about your decision to better yourself, but just be realistic about what kind of guy you will attract, which is likely a beta. |
Complete turn on! Follow your passion. That is contagious and attracts others that are passionate |
Can you tell me the advantages of a beta over an alpha? May e first define the difference ? This seems like troll type talk with no content |
A beta is basically a man who isn't very masculine. There really isn't anything wrong with a Beta, but I wouldn't consider it an advantage. DC is full of betas. |
If you're attractive - yes. |

Woman here. I think you are being smart. If you will be earning that much, the debt you will incur is not that great. It is worth the return on investment.
Also, you need to take care of your career first. Even if you did not do this, there is no guarantee of marriage. I think it will depend on the man. Some men care about woman having good incomes (my husband cared) but others don't. You will just have to find the guys that see the value in it. You will have to weed the guys out that seem to have a problem with it quickly. But at 29, you should be weeding guys out quickly anyway. I think this is totally fine. I met my husband at 29 and he most definitely cared about my future earnings. |
If you plan things right, you could have your 2 kids during the time you are in school. Kids could be in daycare/pre-school age when you begin to work again. Perfect! Too bad I'm married and about 20 years older than you

A guy has a strange mindset to care about a woman's resume. Where she went to school, what she does at work, doesn't make for a better relationship. If you're hanging out with snobs, that's your call. |
