[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised that she did this. Her main job is stay at home mom. She recently finished an AA degree and graduated with honors. She had a full scholarship and a high chance of getting several to pursue a bachelor's degree. Anyway, she's set on working for Wawa three shifts a week in the evening to be with the kids during the day. They offer 401k and stocks after working there for a year. It's very close to our house. I'm not sure what happened. She wanted to study education. She said she's over getting a college degree because she only plans on working part-time, and right now, she wants to focus her time on the kids aged 3 and 6. I am supportive of her not working. She knows this. I feel she has a better shot at getting a full scholarship now since she finished in December. She's not working on applying right now and says college is pointless because she wouldn't be able to study anything marketable, given her issues with math. She isn't the greatest with math, and I say this as someone with a Ph.D in math. However, she spent much time looking at majors where that's not an issue. Two of the degrees she could do without any more math than the two courses she took off her AA degree are criminal justice and communication. Any tips on ways to motivate her to continue, or should I drop it? I think she will regret it, and paying for college in the future will be hard. Before we had children, she worked at a bank headquarters for ten years. The job paid decently and had great benefits. She left the job because I finished college and got my first job in another state. She resented me for a long, long time because not only did age lose her job, but we moved from her family. Unfortunately, she hasn't been able to find a similar job with the pay she was getting, and the locations are all very far. Most of her family didn't attend more than two years of college and they work at the bank she previously was employed. I'm not sure what to do.
