[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 655116, member: 14557"] I did have some relevant work experience already during uni and I did finish my degree while home with Ache. Our universities tend to be very flexible for how you use your time and very often people actually graduate couple years after they have started to work in 'the real job' as we call work that is compatible to your education versus the summer and part time jobs you have during studying to make some money. It is just much more flexible system all together. Polytechnics, colleges that are practically oriented and where you aim to bachelors, nursing school being a prime example, tend to be more rigid and scheduled, but universities, there you around here are accepted to certain major right away and aim for masters (except medical school there you are aiming first to licentiate and then doctorate during when you specialize) tend to be very flexible places. My field made it possible to have a good job even after spending some years home with kids after graduating. In some other fields that would had been a huge problem. Of course I didn't intend to stay home so long. We thought we would put Ache to day care when he would be maybe year and half, old enough to walk and talk and play outside. It just didn't turn out like that, because Ache was Ache and wouldn't had done well at all in day care at that age, or at any age to be honest. So I ended up staying home till he was nine and was able to stay home alone during afternoons (or go to in-laws, who live almost right next to us and where mother in law was home.) I too hope very much I will not become a grandmother in good five or ten years still. Luckily neither of my kids show any signs of wanting to start family early. [/QUOTE]
