[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you PP's.  
17:13 - I am outside of Boston.

I struggle with the fact that I am not career-driven, but I am not unambitious as a person.  I have hobbies, am healthy, family-oriented, I travel, have many friends and activities.  But when it comes to career outlook, I just don't have it.  So I agree that that's where his concerns come from- absolutely.  It's less about the nanny field, thank you PP for putting that into words.

Op, I'm also a nanny in Boston that is facing the same problems as you. I have no debt, make the same as you and am happy with my life in general. I don't want to look back on my death bed and be disappointed that I spent my life working my ass off at an unfulfilling corporate job because society said I need a huge house, expensive car and to make over 100k to be happy. The people who are worried about your income level are those who need the nicest toys to show off. if you're good with money you can own a nice little house and have a good savings. You need to prioritize what's important to you. For me living a simple life and enjoying my family is important.

Also all the jobs they mentioned start around 40k and you won't make much more than what you are now without a masters degree plus you would still have to put in your dues. I had a roommate who was a public school teacher in her thirty's with a masters degree that made less then me.  No job is secure, it's all about money management and living within your means. If your bf who doesn't seem to show ambition himself ( if he did he would find a better paying job and be hustling in college) can't appreciate your choice than it's time to move on. [/quote]
