Good day,
My boyfriend of six months recently commissioned from NROTC for aviation, and at some unspecified point in the near future, he will begin flight school. We love each other dearly and plan to get married after he finishes flight school (we're estimating this will be about 2-ish years from now). In the meantime, I will be working at an economic consulting firm in New York.
I am willing to give up this particular job and follow my boyfriend around when we get married; however, I don't think I would be content as a career stay-at-home wife/mother. I am fairly flexible about what sort of jobs I am willing to work as a military spouse, under the condition that they are "engaging" (challenging, room for professional growth, and utilizes the skills and education that I have already developed). Is there a particular field or career type that would be more conducive to the moving requirements of a military household?
We are interested in children - he suggests that I could combine childbearing with an online master's degree program.
This being said, I would greatly appreciate insight and advice from people who have also attempted to balance a spouse career with a military career.
