[quote=Anonymous]I'm currently almost done with my MSW, which is one of those expensive degrees in low-paying fields that a lot of people are dismissive of.

In general, I support moms who are returning to the workforce who are looking to boost their cred going back to school and getting an advanced degree in their field, provided that their field has an advanced degree that is meaningfully different from the lower level. My undergrad degree isn't in social work, and I've been working in another field for 10 years, so getting the MSW basically IS my transition from one industry to the other.

I still think that it's pretty important WHAT degree the OP is actually pursuing. If it's something like a non-profit administration degree, I am on Team Husband because that is a useless degree. If it's a social work degree, though, I feel like it's a different story if for no other reason than that social workers are highly employable nation-wide, so OP won't have difficulty finding work in the area where her DH wants to move. Sure, she'll need to get licensed there, but that's a lesser hurdle than getting a MPH or non-profit administration degree and then moving to a town where those credentials are meaningless.[/quote]
