There’s nothing wrong a labor of love. If your goal is probation officer or social work, it’s wonderful that you’re doing what you love. I think most people would be happy to enjoy their jobs, many don’t. But you can’t willingly educate yourself for a career you know in advance is on the lower paying end and then complain that you can’t live on the lower paying end.

I’ve been in this couples’ position...in my case it was a matter of growing up in a very poor family and never learning how to handle money. When I finally began making a good income, I didn’t know how to deal with it...it literally took me 20 years to get things straight and understand how things should be done...no one had ever taught me.
