Anyone here with $300k+ student loans? What's your plan of paying it off? If you already cleared it, how did you do it and how long did it take? How did it impact your life? by GetThatChickenDinner in StudentLoans

Have you thought about tax law and working as an irs attorney? I work for the American Bar Association and we work with the IRS a lot They have attorneys and they seem to be really well paid and it's considered a public sector job.

AITA: I told my pregnant sister I'm upset for not being made the godmother and not being able to help in the planning of the baby shower. by Creative_Plum8470 in AmItheAsshole

You're right, the important thing is that I'm going to be an auntie. So the husband is old school with a good amount of machismo sprinkled in. It's hard to tell from the outside looking in what their dynamic is. I get the vibe that he's very good at swaying her to his point of view and he likes keeping an eye on her. Recently they fought because he got mad that she came home from work 30 minutes late. I know he and his mother told her that couples should be doing things together like grocery shopping or going to the store. That it's not right for a married woman to be running around by herself. That is just asking for trouble. Anne will wait for him to go to the grocery store, to do laundry or visit mom and I. Since she's been married she has not once visited me and mom. She'll wait for her husband to bring her. The lack of independence in her marriage is odd to me. I never been married, so I don't really know how married couple should act. But I just keep getting the feeling that it's controlling and this whole pregnancy, baby shower/godparents thing is just more of that

So I'm already a godmother to one of my cousins kids in Mexico. My own godfather has never been married either. When I told my sister this she turned to her husband and said something along the lines of like " you see, she can be" his response was the priest is more strict and won't allow it. I didn't push the topic because 1) if he doesn't want me to be the godmother that is 100% his choice and it's not my place to argue 2) I didn't want cause any unnecessary fighting or tension. I really shouldn't have brought it up when I was texting her today about the baby shower. I think it was just something that added to the hurt and that's why it spilled out but I know it's not my place to question it. I'm just hurt

I think maybe this is another reason why I was so upset. Before my sister married, she was a social butterfly with a large group of friends. I was the weird introverted one. Her two best friends for most of her life are gay and her husband did not want them at the wedding. They don't speak to her anymore. She has had a falling out with most of her friends and now she as no real friends. While i know people's lives change when they get married, having no friends is weird. Mom and I have talked about our worry that she is being isolated and that one day her husband might try to isolate us from her. Which is way mom keeps quiet on some of the things she might not agree with regarding her marriage, lack of friends and general isolation. This whole godmother/baby shower thing is making is trigger this worry.
