Should he stay in nursing school and keep working or just stop going to school. In simpler terms... Should he stay in school? His school time cuts into work time and he could be making more money if he wasn't in school. What is your opinion please?

Nurses make darn good money...is he making that kind of money now? Does he have job security where he is now? Does he have good benefits? Does he have a profession that can take him anywhere in the US and he can find work? Staying in school may be a hardship but this nation is experiencing a nursing shortage and as baby boomers age there will only be more demand for nurses. Sit down together, work out a budget that will help cut bills and expenses and try to keep him in school. You will appreciate it down the road I think. In the Mission TX area they are paying $45 per hour for nurses. Does he make that much? I hope you work it out.

Stay in school...... The nursing degree with provide both of you with a high income, job security, and he will get job satisfaction. You will both enjoy these benefits for a long, long time. The money he passes up now e will recover many times over in the long run. Him quitting now would be like opting to not put money in a retirement account, sure you would have a little more spending now, but in the future you would have much less

My hubby works 50-60 hours a week and goes to school 4 nights a week. I work while the kids are in school and take care of them and the house the rest of the time. Sounds like he needs you to pitch in and help him out. Him finishing school would be the best thing for you guys.

Education is important. Studies have proven the level of income that is sacrificed during the years of school are made up by salary amount within 5 yrs for most career tracks. Especially medical, and IT.
Any degree will improve your salary over the non-degreed employee.
Money is tough while attending school. It is important to know what you can cut and try to live very frugally. do things to keep yourselves healthy, walking, exercising and eating healthy is important.

He may make more $ now but would he make more money in the long run if he stayed in school? would he be doing something he liked better? In most cases its usually better to stay in school. Look at the big picture, i think it will be worth it in the long run

think about what would be best in the long run. to have a job you really like and want and get paid good then stay in school, its not going to last forever. help each other out. that would in my opinion be the best thing to do

My wife is an LPN and makes about $16 an hour. With another year of schooling, that would jump to about $22 an hour.
Have him do the math and decide whether his current job will be able to compete.

Stay in school! It will pay off in the long run. You should get a job if you don`t already have one.

Can he make more money once he finishes school? How long does he have left to complete his program? How's he doing in the program...ie. can he handle the assignments, does he understand the subject manner? Can your marriage withstand putting in without for awhile in order to be financially more secure in the long run?
Talk about it with him and decide whats more important for your family....planning for your future or having more money now.
