[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you wait until you relocate and then go back to school?[/quote]

Her husband has been at his job for only  6 months and already wants to quit, but in 3-6 months he will start looking and who knows how long it will take him to find something acceptable.  By then she could have finished a year of her degree and move on to weekly intensives like she said.  She shouldn't put her goals on hold indefinitely having already sacrificed while her husband earned 3 degrees.  And all of this is coming out the week before OP is starting a program she's excited about.  No way.  She should go ahead with her plans.  Do none of you unsupportive posters have daughters?[/quote]

Thank you! Like I said, it's not about money. He'd be happy if I didn't work.

It's that he wants the ability to pick up and move whenever he wants. This is his 4th position within the past 3 years (2 of which were temporary assignments from his employer). Now he's in a position he can stay awhile and I would like to take advantage. But he's talking about moving from here ASAP, and then trying to take on another temporary assignment a couple years after that. [/quote]

So you think the two economic concerns he cited per your OP (cost of the program and poor ROI) are just lies?  [/quote]

The national median household income for a family of 4 is around 40k.  50-70k may be less that OP's husband earns but if it's a job she enjoys and enables her to re-enter the workforce, it's a worthy goal.  Her kid isn't going to be a toddler forever and she's smart to plan to do something else other than follow her husband to his next post.  And if his economic concerns were so important, he should have brought them up more than a week before classes start, by which time tuition has presumably been paid.[/quote]
