No

Husband has higher degree(non-USC). He has a master's degree, I have bachelor's degree.

Maybe I would go back in the future, I don't really know. At the moment I don't know if it would be worth the money I'd have to spend.

I love school and debt so I have a AA in Liberal Arts, 2 BA's one in Anthropology and one in Political Science 2 Masters one in Global Affairs and one in Educational Leadership and I am awaiting word on acceptance in Harvard for my Doctorate in Educational Leadership.

And I minored in Sociology and Criminal Justice.

My spouse only has a 9th grade education so the difference is huge.

Since I am doing a DCF can SOMEONE PLEASE tell me if this will be a red flag.
