Hubby told me some interesting news this past week. His boss/professor told him that with the research he is currently doing he could forgo his Master's and skip straight to attaining his Doctorate...like skip start and still collect the $200.
Whoa boy. What? My hubby could be a Dr in engineering at 27? ...crazy sauce
This is a huge deal since
a) I am graduating in May,
Since I am graduating in May with my Bachelors, any normal person would go and get a big girl job right out of school; and I don't want to start said job and then have to quit and find a new one a year later when we do move back home. Plus I am perfectly fine with working full-time as a secretary or in retail for a year just to help the keep the wallet from drying out. We've even thought that maybe I could work in the Stillwater school district as a substitute teacher or heck, even as a teacher.
We can put off moving home for another year or two... it won't hurt too bad. Plus, when we moved back the hubby will probably have a higher pay stub so paying off all those school loans might go fast therefore buying land may come sooner than later. That's good.
c) we will probably push back the day we start a family,
I say this but who are we kidding? God is going to give us a little cookie monster when He see's us ready. So it may be tomorrow, a year from now, 3 years from now or never (lets not think the never thing please). So really this isn't in my hands so it shouldn't be a reason for stay or go, ya know?
d) and the money...can't forget about how
Oh money you fickle little thing. I know in my heart that if hubby is supposed to do this that God will help us find the way financially. But man, it's scary just thinking about how much getting a Doctorate can cost.
Right now we're talking and praying, and praying and talking about this and just haven't completely decided yet one way or another.
Any thoughts y'all?
