[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are going to be 35 when you finish this program. Then you plan to work full time while having three babies in rapid succession? Or take time off, and then go back to work full time 6-7 years later?

I don't really understand how this will work. If you already had a child, or were only planning to have one or two, this would all make sense. As it is, how will you build up any experience working with three maternity leaves? And then you have a technical degree, which is less marketable as time without a job goes by.

I know you are thinking that lots of women work and have children, but most do not have three in quick succession when they first enter the workforce in their field. Those who do often struggle.

My vote is child now, start classes, try to make it work. Or, wait and go back to school when you're at least halfway done having kids.

This all sounds possible before the pregnancy or child exists, and then you discover that your life is much less your own than you ever thought possible, unless you have lots of money to hire help. [/quote]

Her plan makes perfect sense. She'll have the baby right after graduation, look for a job, work for a year before trying for another, rinse reapeat.

Lots of women do this. [/quote]

+1. You must not understand or know what a CRNA program entails. As other posters said, you need a stable life. I think school, work, and baby will add too much pressure and likely lead to a divorce or a strained marriage. Waiting is the smartest choice. It's only a year more. It's not like she's 44.[/quote]
