[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 38 and have two kids ( an almost 3 year old and and an almost 1.5 year old). They are amazing! I’m a nurse and have been thinking of going back to school for my MSN for NP. It’s always something I wanted to do but I went to nursing school later in life ( finished at 35) and didn’t want to put off having kids. My husband and I are contemplating having a third. We will start trying at the end of the year if we decide to. We are not 100% sure we want a third as our boys are a handful and we are 38 and 42. My MSN will take 3 years ( PT) and I will be working PT too. We don’t need the extra money but there are many advantages to getting my masters. Would you have a third child first or get an advanced degree first? [/quote]

If you want the third child, do it now.  Time is not on your side.  There is no biological clock on the advanced degree.  I had my third child at 39, went back for a masters afterwards (earned at 50) and am now embarking on my second career.[/quote]
