Should I quit school?

Blunt here but: If you aren’t married yet with a partner willing to support you as SAH, no don’t drop out of school just to date. You can date while in school. There are no guarantees you’ll find a guy who wants what you want and you need a solid income. 65k isn’t much. Also many guys want an educated woman even if they don’t end up working once kids come along (watch Indian matchmaking as an example - they all want educated women to stay at home as wife). On top of that, dental hygiene is a very feminine profession (like nurse, teacher). I can’t see any man thinking this is a negative. My sister in law had this degree and can work only 1-2 days a week but now stays home full time. It’s a flexible job.

Don’t put all your eggs in the husband basket. It’s not rational in 2022. You don’t want to leave yourself with nothing if the right guy doesn’t show up. Do your schooling and start creating the life you want. You can date while going to school. Most HVM will be turned off by a girl with no direction or job who just wants to be impregnated. You don’t have to be a career woman but you need some sort of education and some sort of job. You can quit or later if you have kids and it makes sense to do so.

I started dating to marry at 28, engaged at 29, will be married at 30. I dated and went to school at the same time, most people do and you should too. Even though those earlier relationships didn’t end in marriage I learned a lot from them so I don’t think you should ignore dating for school. If you can’t handle the program then you might need to find an easier program.

Would the tradeoff (my prime fertility years) be worth the payoff? Is it better to drop out of school and just focus on dating?

Why does that have to be a tradeoff? I know people who are getting their PHDs and can still date. I have investment banker friends who work around 80 hours a week who still have time to date. Why would going to dental hygienist school make you not able to date? If you want to make time for it, you will.

With my financial aid if I graduated I would basically have no debt. I could use the money…towards paying off my husband’s debt.

Girl, slow down. Your hamster is going insanely fast right now. Why are you trying to figure out if you should save up for your hypothetical husband’s debt? A hypothetical husband you haven’t even met yet? You’re overthinking and overcomplicating things.

Absolutely not. If you can make 65k/year with benefits (dental careers provide LOTS of benefits) make it... and find a man who makes more if you want your man to make more money than you. Don't settle for less!
NO! You can work and date at the same time. It isn't too hard to find a work/life balance. It does, however, take planning, which is mentally strenuous work that no one likes doing, but pays dividends in the long run for any lifestyle.
Put that money towards YOU. You don't know how life will shake out. If you want kids, kids aren't cheap! Stockpile that money for you and THEM.

Also, don't forget to take out life insurance policies on yourself and your kids. Because bad things happen in life. And you might need that money because if Evil snatches away your kids too soon, you might be incapable of doing any work for a long period of time. Or if you get snatched away from this world too soon after marriage and kids, they may need the money from your policy to cover their lifestyle needs.

End Dark Mode

In short, make the most money you reasonably can and wisely position that money to protect you, your retirement, and your future kids, and their future lives.

Find a husband that is worthy of that vision you've built.

Find yourself an eminently qualified human to marry.

And keep making yourself an eminently qualified human that someone will want to marry.

Use the money to start putting into retirement. One of the biggest issues my husband and I face now is that just his retirement contributions alone would fall a bit short for both of us when we inevitably retire. You don't even know if this future husband would have debt yet.

lots going on here

65k is absolutely not too much money. i think you’re looking at the SMV thing a little too mathematically here. a guy who has never been to college but runs a successful construction business, works out, is handsome etc can have a higher SMV than a guy who’s been to college. in real life, people don’t go around rating people according to some complicated formula. also, college is a great way to meet guys.
you can date in college. you can even get married and have kids in college! i know lots of people who did. just make time for it and don’t write off 4 years of you’re life just because you’re busy studying.
why are you even thinking about this?

You are patétic.
