Thank you so much for the advice!!

Lucky for me, (I can say this now cause I've told my mom about it and she posts on here) it looks like my boyfriend and I will be getting married in the next couple years and once he gets on full time with the Fire Dept he'll be making enough to support us on his own. But I'm going to have a job, I've never considered being a housewife and I'm never going to consider it as a viable option. I'm going to need a flexible job that I can do anywhere. I have no doubt, and his current coworkers agree(he's working part-time with the local FD), that he can get on with any Dept he applies to and he's looking at applying to a couple different Depts in the Central Texas area after he gets his EMT certs; we've been playing with the idea of him applying to the Honolulu Fire Dept

But yes, I'm going to stick with my current path, I'm going to graduate with a PoliSci degree and get a job(hopefully I'll have a good one worth holding on to, or at least experience in fields I'm looking into by the end of this coming Spring), after working for a couple years I'll see where I'm at then and decide if going to graduate school would be a viable idea. I wouldn't mind having a Master's degree
