[quote=Anonymous]Is he managing his finances? Is he happy (not, are you happy)?

My husband is a carpenter, with a college degree. His parents both had PHDs (his mom from an Ivy League school) and were professors and academics who heavily valued education, but my husband is far happier as a carpenter (and later as a project manager) then he ever would be in his field of study (a lab science degree). I'm sure my in-laws would have preferred he go on to work in his field, but ultimately they accepted that wasn't something he was interested in.

Ultimately, he is 34 and old enough to know whether he will be happy in his field. Obviously, it has been rocky for him to this point, and in my experience there is almost always a reason for it. In some cases, they simply arent good at whatever they chose to do with their education. In other cases, they simply have very little interest in it after getting their foot in the door and it is obvious.

Support his decisions, at least emotionally. [/quote]
