[quote=Anonymous]I’d be upset too, OP. Especially if you are footing the bill. A good friend paid for her DD’s college education in a STEM field at a top 10 school. She’s an extremely bright young woman and was Valedictorian of her HS class. She had everything planned out and her future looked very bright. Then she met a guy first semester of her Jr year and everything changed. They became engaged during winter break of her senior year. She decided to delay grad school and instead just get a job after graduation in the college town because his major was a 5-year combined BS & Masters degree, so they needed to remain there. They got married the following summer after he completed his degree and she was pregnant by Oct. Other than that year after she graduated, she’s never put her pricy degree to use and has been a SAHM.

His degree was not in a high paying field from what my friend tells me, I think some sort of specialized HR degree, and their life is mainly financial struggles according to my friend. [/quote]
