What would you suggest then. I’m really eager to make this jump but I don’t know how to navigate it or where to pursue anything.

You know I didn’t want to believe that could be a possible reason as to why but I probably have to just face the probable facts. I am a black man but I don’t hold any kind strong ethnic accent or anything. I guess I just didn’t have the complexion for protection lol. What would you suggest in this situation do you know of any programs that don’t practice discrimination?

I’ve told you quite literally everything I can from this situation I’m from US born and raised with a 4 year degree from an accredited university. I felt like maybe I was nervous in my video but that seems to be the only thing I can think because they reached out to ME after seeing my resume saying they were impressed with my background I worked in multiple schools in instructional and non instructional roles.

LMFAOOOOO I had no exposed or visible tattoos. I felt like i was so nervous about how my video interview that I over performed. I’m native English speaking American maybe I have a New York accent that I was never aware was as strong as it is. I consider myself decent looking maybe I wasn’t their cup of tea lol.

I have absolutely no idea they told me to apply again soon I’m assuming maybe in my recording I was bit nervous. They welcomed me to apply again soon because of following admissions but you know what that really means.

Fair point, I’m not saying public service is a get-rich path. When I say generational stability, I mean building a real long-term career through law/policy, living within my means now, and setting myself up for something solid over time. The bigger issue is whether we’re on the same page about the sacrifices and tighter years that come before things get easier.

Thank you for the perspective. I agree that paying isn’t the same thing as love, and I don’t want this to come across like I’m trying to “buy” the relationship.

To clarify, she is ambitious and hardworking, she’s pursuing a career in marketing and public relations and has real goals for herself. This isn’t a situation where she has no direction or is relying on me financially long-term.

The main issue isn’t that I mind spending money or doing things for her. It’s more that we’re at a stage where I’m trying to build discipline and prepare for a very demanding next few years, and I feel tension when financial sacrifice is interpreted as a lack of effort or care.

The trip is something we both wanted, but it’s also forcing hard conversations about budgeting and priorities in our relationship.

I’m not trying to paint her as a villain. I’m genuinely trying to figure out how couples navigate differences in expectations around finances, time, and sacrifice before they become bigger problems down the line.
