[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy sh*t.  Another ungrateful, self-righteous DW on DCUM?  What?  Of couse your DH should continue to work a job he hates while you go back to school.  Of course your really hard work over a couple of years justifies you taking two years off and taking on debt to pursue your BS passion.  I think DH should do the same and puruse his passion.  We should all quit!  This whole thread makes me sad & angry![/quote]

Maybe you should try reading the thread before spouting off nonsense.  There is no debt involved.  Her DH has only been at hIs current job for the past few months and has switched jobs repeatedly in the last few years.  It's not like he has had some well thought out plan in the works for years.[/quote]

You're right.  DH is not the consistent bread winner that he should be!  Time for him to suck it up while DW gets a useless $100K Master's Degree in Psychology.  Then she will finally be happy and willing to "sacrifice" in some $25K/yr lab job studying mayflies.  Another DCUM living in fantasy land...[/quote]

Wow you really have a reading comprehension problem.  Op will make 50-70k after her degree, not 25k and her degree would be about[b] 20k or so based on the cost per credit [/b]she cited.  But [b]why let hard numbers get in the way of your rant[/b].[/quote]

First. The "cost per credit" or tuition cost per credit hour is only a fraction of the total cost of the degree. There are fees on top of tuition which often double the actual cost.

Second. When I was in grad school the masters program required around 90 credit hours for a "STEM" degree. That means the tuition alone is closer to 45K. It all depends on the number of credit hours she need. Did she say exactly how many hours she needs?
