[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone. Especially the poster who just wrote "get a job". Absolutely brilliant, never would have thought of that on my own ;)

In all seriousness.....

I don't think I was clear enough in my previous post.

Yes, DH has brought up the money issue, but that's not the real problem. When we've talked about me going back to school in the past, he was very supportive. He makes enough that I could be a SAHM forever if I wanted. We have no debt and plenty of savings. I do some part time work (online and in-person consulting, I make $40-$100 per hour) that would cover the cost of tuition. He makes very good money and it took him 3 degrees to get that salary, so he sees the value in grad school.

The real issue is he wants to leave his job and this area as soon as possible. He's been at this job 6 months and is going to start sending out applications in another 3-6 months. I'd normally be 100% supportive of that. I've encouraged him to quit his entire career in the past- even if it meant a big pay cut- because I want him to be happy. I love this area and my family is here, but I agreed to move to wherever he wants so he can be happy.

I would just like him to hold off for another 2 years so I can get this degree. Even another year would help tremendously- I can then switch to weeklong intensive classes instead of semester classes after that.

And that's even if he gets another job right away. It could take another year or two. In the meantime, I can't work (other than what I do part time) or go to school because I don't know when we'll have to move. I just feel like I have put my life on hold for the past 3 years- first for his career and now for our kid. [/quote]
