I just got back today from talking to an admissions counsler. I want to go to school for medical office and can get a grant for it which Im excited. BUT my husband looks down at me going to school. Should I go ahead and go back even though he doesnt like it? I tried talking to him but doesnt want to talk about it. What should I do??? Im confused. School starts March 9th.
Why is he opposing this ? What are his reasons are they due to finacial - I know you’ve said you get a grant but will you have to work part time etc;
Or is it he is frightened about you dong something new and bettering yourself - when I decided to go back to University I suddenly realised how many folk opposed it and when I drilled down it frightened them ...
He doesnt want me to get into more debt than what we already have. The school for 1 yr costs about 10,000 dollars but I qualify for a federal grant that reduces it down to approx. $3000 dollars. I can get either a stafford loan or a private loan to pay the remainder of it. But the good thing is you dont have to pay it back until 6 months after you graduate. He is at work now and havent told him yet. Also I think he doesnt want me to spend a lot of time doing school work. But I know I will be with him and my daughter also. I do work part time outside of my home so I know I will have to dedicate my time between all of this. But I really deep down in my heart, I want this soooooo bad. JUst a big decision here. 
Follow your heart! You might need to tell him, lovingly, that you've made a decision to go back to school.
You never want to look back and think - should’ve, would’ve, could’ve.
You are right ms.kay. My immediate family tells me to go for it. That he will just have to get use to it.

This says it here. A dream with a passion = success.

Follow your heart and you will have no regrets!
Thanks everybody. That is what I was thinking. Just to follow my heart and my dreams before it is too late. I just dont understand why Im afraid to tell him. I guess Im afraid he will start complaining to me and tell me everything negative about it. But his whole family is pretty negative. Not mine. I guess he will eventually get over it and learn to accept it.
DO IT kountrykelly!! Five years of your life will pass by anyway, why not have something you wanted to achieve to show for it! GO GIRL!
Go to school It is very important that we all have something to fall back on....
I would definitely go back to school. The medical field is a great field to be going into. I would check around also to see if there were some other groups that give out grants and maybe try to cover the 3,000. or a portion of it. Nothing says you cannot have more than one grant.
The other thing is when you tell your husband this is what you have decided to do, explain the benefit to the family.You are doing this to help out the family. With the economy like it is you will be able to bring in a better income to help the family so the family will be able to be comfortable. I think you understand what I mean. You have to sell him on the idea.
So what your decision? Just a follow up. Did you talk to your husband? ? ? ?
