Where do I go to meet women who aren't concerned about this? I am unhappy doing what I'm doing, although it does pay the bills, and there's a decent chance I will be taking a low-paying job or going back to school to do something else. My last relationship just ended after a year and her concern about my career outlook was a big part of it. Not complaining, I have nothing bad to say about her, but right now I can't provide the stability she wants and deserves.
I'm not destitute, I still go out and do fun things, so that's not a problem, but I do need to find someone who's OK with the idea that I'm not exactly a great provider.
I'm pretty much wrecked right now from the breakup but looking ahead to the time when I'm less so. The ideas I've come up with so far are volunteering at an animal shelter and maybe signing up for some co-ed sports. Can't stomach online dating again, and I generally don't enjoy bars/clubs, but I know there are other possibilities out there.
I'm hoping to be in the same boat in a year or two with the career change and I'm 31 now......
I think you will be fine mate simply because both most are endearing and understanding to the fact you will be studying and won't be able to do this and that that you normally can and shouldn't hold it against you
Honestly if I met a girl and I liked her enough I would only help with the finance side of things.
I wouldn't be bothered by it, but I'm in my upper thirties, going to grad school, and changing careers myself, and I work in human services, so loads of $$$ had never been a reality or a priority. Is every woman of my same mindset? Nope. Some will write you off.
Some are likely going to be more put off by your just having gotten out of a relationship.

Man, I love your positive attitude- it's really infectious and solid.

Yeah, I'm not worried about making a lot of money. I've never been a big spender, don't care about buying things and most of the things I do for entertainment involve inexpensive outdoor activities.
I figure a break of several months over the summer and I'll be completely over the relationship and ready to get back at it again.

It's certainly contagious......... Enjoy
No I find it's pointless and unproductive being negative, sure we all get down in a while or think the worst but being upbeat gets you out of trouble and naturally attracts people to you .
I'm in the same boat. Also ready for a career change. It's scary because I've built a certain lifestyle and going through a career change, you never really know exactly what will happen.
What do you do now and what are you trying to get into TC?

How long do you have in school?
Stability is a big deal to some women - I, for example, require it in a mate.
That said, I understand changing careers as well. Hubby and I both did it late in life.
When do you plan on dating? Working, dating, AND school? Will you have time for it all?

I'm in a similar situation. 35 years old and just left a position as a Food Service Director working at a nursing facility. I couldn't see myself doing that for the rest of my life, so I am working on getting into a nursing program currently. I believe it would be more fulfilling. So I've taken a position with less pay closer to family. The drawback it's a smaller area than I was previously which doesn't bode well for my love life. Not that it existed before as I worked all the time.
So go for it if you don't feel you're in the right position.
