[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of the people harshing here on OP have spouses with jobs of wildly different and lower professional stature? And how many can relate to OPs situation, where she thought she was marrying one type of person and he turned out to be a different type?

OP, is he really lazy, or does he just work in these unskilled/less skilled jobs but still works hard? Does he work full-time? [b]Are his computer skills outdated by now?[/b] I'm assuming the waiter jobs aren't at high-end places where good service can be complex and remunerative?[/quote]
That's exactly why he stopped looking for jobs. He was out of the field for about five years and then started getting interviews again. He bombed them all. Fell flat on his face. Said he didn't even know what they were asking with some of the questions. He tried to read up, but was overwhelmed. Doesn't feel like he can catch up now. I think he can, but will need to go back to school. [/quote]

I just posted about my "over-degreed" DH.  [b]Be careful what you wish for there - my DH went back for his masters and never got a job after that either,[/b] only now I have another thousand a month in his student loans to deal with.   :cry: [/quote]

What is his masters in so I don't go back to school and make the same dumb assessed mistake?[/quote]

Sadly, computer science.  The problem is the man, not the degree.  I love him, but he is ruining our family.[/quote]

No the problem is rampant ageism and anti-family policies in tech, computer science, and programming. Your DH are out of luck unless they provide some personal connections or are experts in intellectual capital the company depends on. Being over 30 and with a family hit highly trained in tech is WORTHLESS.  Maybe look into consulting though they will travel and you will never see them again; maybe degree in accounting?

Our economy is winner take all at an early age, if you stumble it is far far harder to make it up now because ageism is pretty rampant. [/quote]

Since when is over 30 too old to work anywhere?? how would he get into consulting?[/quote]

You're "old" much sooner in programming/tech.  [/quote]

What are you even tAlking about? My husband is 46 and never has a problem finding IT jobs.[/quote]
