Well, the wife wants to go back to school to study Sonography. Having a child has inspired her to want to be ultrasound tech and work with pregnant women. That means going back college and a lot of hard work to get there. We have a lot of pros and cons to weigh.
What this all boils down to, is that open house for the college is next Saturday. lol

I highly highly recommend researching.... And don't believe the **** you read online "you can make 100k a year!". It's always over inflated.... BUT, I highly recommend she looks into working for WellSpan if she does decide to do it... My wife works for them, health insurance is amazing, and they have good benefits. My service advisors wife does ultrasound for WellSpan as well. Other thing to keep in mind, is if she wants to start at the bottom, get a job at WellSpan as an entry level something or other that doesn't require schooling, and they pay (I think) 70%of your schooling if you go while you're an employee...

Trade school was a good option for me. I had very little debt after college. Payed it off within 5 years making minimum payments.

http://www.ibewlu126.com/ There you go...lol. Click on the menu and then click on become an apprentice. Work is crazy right now, they need more guys to man jobs all over the jurisdiction. Last I checked the books at the hall, there were 40 open calls for guys.
