A husband vent!

[2cuteboys]

I can't give you any advice in that area, sorry. Except to say that I get what you mean about taking a backseat to his job. I also had my son right out of university, and have never actually used my degree either (although it's an ed degree... So teeeechnically I have, but dealing with preschoolers is a hell of a lot different than teaching high school science).

My husband did his diploma straight out of high school, and like most trades, it's really only applicable for one specific thing. And it's near impossible to get a teaching job near/in the city, most of my friends have had to move away to a small town for experience first. Not really a possibility for someone with a husband and two kids. Him finding another job in a smaller town wouldn't necessarily be difficult, but it would be a huge pay decrease, and he's moved quite high in the company in the time he's been there.

But I get your frustration. It's so hard to know that in another life, you'd be able to do more (one of my friends got a vice principal job this year... I have yet to get an interview).
