Question Posted Wednesday March 2 2005, 9:22 pm

my boyrfiend and i have been together for two years we are both 17 and he is in the army well in oct. of this year he was suppose to be deployed to baghdad for a year and a half, which ruined our plans of going to college together so i planned on staying home and going to a school near by till he got back well turns out he actaully wont be going, but now he has this mindset of not going to college at all, which i think is pretty stupid. He said that when he turns 18 this fire department has some kind of job waiting for him. he said he would be making 40k a year and insists that he doesnt HAVE to go to college at all. He hasnt really made up his mind which I think is unfair to me b/c what he does effects me and i am again finding myself putting my life on hold for him...we grad. in May and im not committed to anything school wise which really scares me Im so lost and dont know what to do getting someone else point of view would be awesome thanks....

First off, let me congradulate you on your relationship lasting as long as it has. It is a rare thing this day in age. Now for advice, tell him knowledge is power. The fire department sound great if they will actually do that, and I'm sure they would help him with college. If he thinks that he can make it in this world without college, he is sadly miscalculating the very country he's singed up to protect. On a side note, don't ever let another person effect what you want to do in life. If you want to go to a certain school, tell him that you want to go there and that he can come with you or he can stay and you two could try the whole long distance thing. He should be open to letting you do what you choose to do with your life. Whatever you do, don't let him talk you out of your dreams. I would take a semester off and figure out what both of you want to do with your lives and then move on in it from there.
