I'll speak 4 my sister (in DS). Get husband lives in other side of country, & works as an electrical engineer.
It's hard on her & they routinely takes flights out to see each other at least monthly.
As she put it, it is the only motivation she had to finish DS.

I'm dating a girl that wants to be a social worker. I told her she can just be a stay at home mom if we end up getting married 🙂.
Retried pharmacist working as a high school science teacher. Granted, we're a younger couple - she still switched career paths.
I think the ideal situation is to have someone who can make money while the other is in school - if one is in professional school. Less debt the better!

My husband is a computer engineer. It was/always comforting to know that in the future/now while in dental school, someone can hold down the fort in case you dont get a job right out of school.

That's funny, my wife is a high school teacher too, and she wonders why she didn't do pharmacy like her sister did, who makes over twice what she does. But she loves the kids!

Money is one thing, but satisfaction is another. Some love pharmacy. My wife taught at a pharmacy school for sometime before deciding that the younger generation is where she wanted to be.
I love dentistry, and I would never consider another profession - I'm still looking to break back into academia or a leadership position.
Best to follow your heart. Maybe you won't make that much money, and sure, maybe your kids won't be driving BMWs or riding yachts during their teen years - you should still always do what makes you smile(I hope everyone got the pun).

But what if my BMW and yacht make me happy?
Then start being very frugal now, so that someday you MAY be able to afford them

My wife is a nurse. I find her occupation beneficial to my studies both financially and academically.

My wife's a veterinarian. We make it work and presumably things get better once residency is done.

Or, on an annual basis, rent a BMW car from a car rental place for a day or two; or, pay for a yacht day excursion. Problem solved.

Then you're living the American dream I suppose!
My wife is a gold-digger...
I'm just kidding. I'm not married. I'm the gold digger...just waiting to meet that cute Orthodontist who can take care of me.

Having been married now for 15 years to a cute orthodontist if I do say so myself 😉 , You also need to make sure that that "cute orthodontist" wants to keep on working a bunch of days a week to bring home some fulltime orthodontist money as opposed to part time orthodontist money since you're bringing home fulltime GP money, so therefore she shouldn't have to work fulltime if she doesn't want to 🙄

Not everyone is a dentist-doctor doctor-doctor dentist-dentist couple lol

So this must be why my husband keeps me around.
He has a degree in electrical engineering but can't change a lightbulb to save his life. He works in marketing at a big company and gets sweet benefits that I will never have in private practice. And that's why I keep him around. 😍
