is your degree relative to your profession today? [/quote] Very. I work as a quality control/assurance tech for a road-paving and road-maintenance company. I obtained my professional license last year, and though I could now be considered "overqualified" for my present position, the company has been growing in leaps and bounds (doubled in size from 3 years ago) and I see some advancement possibilities coming my way.

Um, yes and no. Education and knowledge are beneficial when raising kids. But as we all know, not required. I plan on finishing my B.A. English by the time our youngest is in school full-time, though I'm not entirely sure which career path to take at this time.

Prior to becoming a SAHM, I was a municipal secretary - no degree requirements for that job.

I think it's relevant to every profession I've worked in (first computers, now audio), but technically speaking, it's not relevant at all (people are just crazy, that's all). However, having "a" degree helped with some jobs in computers, but that was just to say I had that piece of paper.

I can't think of a greater calling and a more wonderful one too .. My daughter is one too to 3 young boys. I would have been happy to have been a SAHD when my kids were young.

Thank you. It's definitely a lot harder than working full time in a traditional job. More rewarding, too.

Severine the fact that you chose to be a SAHM is very commendable . Its a sacrifice that will pay huge dividends for your children . The fact that u are also continuing your education will not only enhance your future employment but ( as my wife used to say ) it provides you the opportunity to converse / communicate and socialize WITH BIG PEOPLE

As a young couple we were forunate to have my wife be a SAHM till our youngest graduated from HS . I always told my children that Mom's job was WAY MORE important than anything i did for a living she was busy Creating A LIFE for us all . She also earned a degree after marriage and entered teaching when our youngest went to college.

MY daughter ( Not much older than you) a HS Math teacher chose the SAHM role when they adopted 2 kids . She' runs a private tutoring service out of her home and does well but will re-enter teh teaching ranks later when teh kids are older

Best of luck to u and your family !!
