After graduating from Electronic Technologies, me and my wife got married and have our first born child. My wife is a 2nd Lt. in the Air Force. Finding a job in the Military base as civilian is very difficult to get especialy without a job experience in the field that i'm interested to work in. With no choice, I indeed up of staying home to take care of our first born child. Few months later, my wife have had asked me about to further my education to get a Bachelor degree or if not will I consider Joining the military. With in mind, I was hesitating whether I will purse her decession or not? I'm deeply uncomfortable with the decession she make for that fact that, joining in the service is not my best and going back to college is a little dificult for me in areas of comprehension. I have filed so many times and I don't want to go through failure again. My only best is having a personal business over the internet and I'm doing a good job at it especialy when it comes into profit and I really would like to continue what i'm doing that I'm enjoying the most espcialy that I'm making decent a monthly income. What should I do if she continue to pursuade me to back to college or consider the military? She has a bachelor degree and I do not and I think this is what gets us into an arguments most of the time. |

Go for the degree, don't rush, take your time, be meticulous, do well, and you'll be happy you were able to succeed. |

Go to a local college and speak with an intake counselor, tell the truth. I bet you end up taking some computer or Internet marketing classes! |

Well is hard to make it in the web, seems like your wife is not happy with the amount of money you are making. I think is a valid option to want to make it on your own in the web, but if you are already a father have to provide some money so try convice her that you already have a decent income or that that income is increasing will not be enough, I will say be careful with the choice and look on income but also look in who you are and what kind of job you want, because then you will end with a mediocre pay in a job you hate and you resent your wife for that. |

We have no problem with money. Financialy, we are a little more than what we should have. It's more like, she wanted me to accomplish up in a higher level as possible (Her level). I really don't know how to responds her anymore whether to grand her wish or continue the things that I like the best. |

Why not do both? You could check into "on-line" schooling continue your education and continue with the business. You would be able to continue school wherever you go(with access) I wouldn't join the military. They say when, where, how long etc.. you go. Your child would potentially have to be left with someone. Seems like a good compromise to me. |

You haven't explained why your wife thinks you should get a college degree. Is she concerned about your level of education? Does she worry about your career prospects? Is it an issue of class or prestige? Does she feel that the educational inequality is detrimental to your relationship? Is she resenting that she's working and you're the stay-at-home parent? Did you discuss these issues before you got married? Did you promise her that you would get a degree and then changed your mind? Why does she want you to join the military as an alternative option? Why did she join the military? It's difficult to guess what is the real bone of contention between the two of you.

From what you have said it seems that you feel very uncomfortable when your wife tries to put pressure on you to get further education. This is a decision that is usually made by yourself and should be tied to YOUR basic 'life plan' and the goals that are important to you in your life.It sounds to me that the real issue is not about your qualifications (or lack of), nor is it about money. It may be a god idea to contact a counsellor and try and explore what you would like to do with your life. A family therapist could help you work out what your priorities are and also help you explore the feelings of discomfort you experience in your marriage . Remember that you are ultimately responsible for yourself and what you do with your life, and you are the best person to make decisions on what direction you would like to take (you are flying the plane). A Therapist might help you to see your own way forward in the direction that is right for you. I wish you well |

Go for the degree. Every AF base has an education office and as I recall you can use it as a spouse. In my opinion she should think twice before asking you to join the military. You would be enlisted, and while fraternization would not technically be an issue, it is still kinda frowned on to have an officer and enlisted married. My other advice would be to get her to go overseas. Then your career prospects would look up (you would be a cheap local hire, and they would often overlook your lack of experience). I would expect that you could get on as a pinsetter mechanic or a slot machine technician and work (NAF) for the local "Services" squadron and make some bucks. Even if you don't find something, you still have the option to go to school, she will make much better money (COLA), and you will have more fun places to take the kid during the day. :-) |
