[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very likely school will have no benefit for you. The time and energy and money you put into it will be better invested elsewhere.[/quote]

An education is never a waste of time[/quote]

[b]In the real world[/b], it can be. Would I rather be sitting in classes every night to get my master's, or putting my kids to bed?[/quote]

Doesn't sound to me like OP lives in the real world.  She wants to go back to school for a degree that is most likely unnecessary when she has young children because she wants to "start a business" but doesn't have any concrete plans to do so.  [/quote]

My thoughts too and this is probably how her DH is perceiving it. Plus, I assume they are dealing with student loans, debt, and a relatively low HHI  - he's been in school for the past 15 years afterall - so I can see why her DH doesn't want OP going to graduate school, etc.

Frankly, given your situation, I don't think DH is "keeping you down", but he's seeing the big picture. And I agree with your DH that going to graduate school isn't a good idea.

OP - instead of graduate school, which is arguably a waste of time and money, consider taking night classes at the community college which is cheaper and more flexble. AND make them pertinent to your start up business - such as Payroll, Accounting, Labor Laws, Book keeping,  etc.

Also, what is the business venture? Are we going to see you on Shark Tank anytime soon?[/quote]
