I’ll try to sum this up quickly. Ever since college my husband has been unsure about his career. He got a history major b/c he didn’t know what to do and thought “I can always teach.” Soon after college he married and joined the Army - again avoiding choosing a life career for the next 4 years. After the Army he got a job at a factory b/c the pay and benefits were good. Once again, avoiding the career issue.
Now he’s frustrated with the factory job (he can’t really advance like a professional would). He wants to find his career. He hates math and science so med school and engineering and electrical and other such jobs are out. He has no interest in law school. So we’re back to teaching. But we can’t support a family of 5 on it and pay off debts.
Any other career ideas? And guys….can you tell me if is this a common problem with men??
We are both committed to me staying at home with the children so 2 incomes is not an option.
I’m so frustrated - I want to help my husband make a good choice but we have been talking about this for 10 YEARS!
Good suggestion about part-time job - but what part-time job can you make a lot of money at?
We’re in Kansas. Yep he’s 30 years old. LOL
Does law enforcement pay well? Will he take a huge pay cut at first? He makes 45k now.
