That is our situation-- sort of.. My husband has a college degree and he is also a journeyman electrician (IBEW). He did not have any college debt though. His father paid his tuition (state college). I met him at said college. I ended up dropping out but returned later and got my nursing degree. We only had one kid and he currently has his Master's degree and is applying for doctorate programs in his field (clinical psychology). As a young man he had a year of working blue collar construction and 4 years in the military so was able to make good decisions about his future after he was discharged. His fiance is also in his same field and finishing her Master's. She did grow up with a lot of poverty in a small deadend town so is very ambitious, hardworking and fiercely smart. My husband is not a big reader but my son and his fiance and I are. Our neighborhood is made up of homes that cost less than $150K, generally 1500-1700 sq. foot, 1970's stock suburban split/raised ranch or colonial style homes, good public school system. In fact, we don't have a private school in our district.
