I've been grappling with the decision of whether or not to return to college. My parents are pushing me to go, but my previous college experience left me feeling like a failure. I lacked a support system and felt isolated, so I ultimately dropped out. It's been four years now, and seeing everyone around me graduate and secure real jobs makes me feel like a loser. However, I don't actually want a typical 9-5 job. I despised my previous job, where I was bullied and taken advantage of by my boss. A conventional job just doesn't suit me. On the bright side, I have a supportive boyfriend who believes in being the provider and doesn't want me to work. While I appreciate his support, I can't shake this feeling of not fitting in and being unsure of my path. yippeeeee

Trade school is always a good alternative ~ there are a lot of less-considered jobs that pay well and are always high in demand, and the tuition is more affordable. I'm a massage therapist and the tuition totaled 18k for an eight month program, with a federal loan covering half.
Of course, being a stay-at-home partner is perfectly respectable if you are both able to manage with a single income (and if its something you'd want). I'm the sole source of income and my partner hasn't been employed for some years, but helps so much with home life, I feel like we still both have a fair share of contribution.
yeah I really like the idea of being a stay at home partner and I already do the house work and I like it being this way
