I went through this for years after graduating High School and never finishing college. I took a semester of college and then dropped everything to move with my (now) hubby and started working full-time.

I was so worried about finances while I was in school - how would I pay the bills if I couldn't work full time while in school, etc, but hubby sat me down and said look, you gave up everything and packed up and moved to be with me, it's time that I return the favor to you. Apply for school, quit your job, I'll pick up extra work, we'll be fine.

So I applied at a college back in my home town into their Vet Tech program... and got accepted!! True to his word, we packed up and moved back home and we are now living with my in-laws to save money on rent and utilities, but dang it, I'm going to school to do something that I love.

I don't feel so worthless anymore, because now I actually have something planned for my future besides just working to get by.
