I'm new here - looking for opinions more or less.
My wife and I have been married a month now - but together over 4 years prior to getting married, own a house together and both have decent paying jobs. She's in retail and I've got a career job.
She finally finished her undergrad work and got a bachelor's degree this past spring and just got accepted to grad school. She told me it will cost around $15K before books before the entire degree and it's online so she at least doesn't have to move away for months at a time and leave me hanging to pay the mortgage. She plans on continuing to work full time which is good, however she just told me that she really wants to go "just to go and get better educated" with no real plans of pursuing a career in the degree she wants a masters in. Luckily it's not super expensive, but paying 15 grand + books for a masters and then not doing anything with it seems a bit foolish, especially when we have a mortgage and a fair amount of credit card debt.
I'd like for her to go and pursue her dream, but if she's most likely not going to at least try to get a job based on her credentials, is it just going to be a waste of money?
