To be clear, I love both of my jobs. Honestly. I work with amazing people at both places. I’m just to the point where I can no longer physically or mentally work 2 jobs. I have to choose one. Both have pros and cons and I feel the biggest pro at the college is the potential reduced tuition for my youngest 2 kids. Im not sure the pros at the college outweigh the pros at the other job though.
I have been divorced for a decade. While married we both contributed to a college fund for the kids that my ex now “owns”. My ex has chosen to not contribute to our oldest sons college tuition at all so its up to me and FAFSA (long story which involves his new wife of 9 years and my oldest not getting along and a very recent 2 year court case where my ex tried to get full custody of the kids and in fact lost placement time instead).
My ex makes a substantial salary (triple what I make) but I can’t guarantee he will assist the kids with college tuition based on what hes done with our oldest. However, our middle son is my ex’s “golden child” so Im hoping ex would help with tuition for him at least.
There are a few decent in state options S23 would possibly consider.
Thanks for letting me ramble. I am very fortunate to be passionate about what I do. Im just physically and mentally tapped out like most moms of teens! I want to be home more, not less.
