Late in the Game-thread 6, maybe last in separated

H knows that I want him to pay for school and he says he won't, that my choice not to finish college was my choice long before we met. That is true. However, I wouldn't have had two kids and moved to a half-million dollar house if I thought I'd be supporting myself.

The L I went to seems to think that I could get a mediator to see that paying me to go back to college would be more beneficial for all in the long run and won't exactly cost him and arm and a leg.

CBK, I worked in consumer marketing before moving here to Sacto. In SF, I worked for one of the best graphic design companies in the country, we focused mostly on food and beverage package design. I worked as a marketing analyst on the new business side of things, identifying new markets to approach as well as specific people and was on a product/company naming team. Prior to that I worked for a boutique design firm that did the same thing on a smaller scale and before that I was a secretary at one of the big-three PR firms in the world.

In terms of schooling, my choices are totally different depending on whether or not I stay married. If we stay married, I am going to either buy a small cafe or become an interior decorator. Neither one will likely give me health insurance and/or a steady livable income. If we get divorced, I am going to become a radiology tech. This job isn't the excited job, but pays well, comes with benefits and with our population aging, will pretty much guarantee me employment. I really don't know what to do right now. I guess I could register for the college classes I need to go into the radiology school since there's some science classes I need. (Didn't need science as a woman's studies major!)

I know that long-term I will be fine. It's the next three-four years that have me concerned.
