Is it strange to go to college without a career goal?

Question

My husband is the breadwinner of the family. I don't have to work, but I want to finish school just to learn. The major I chose is anthropology, but after school we plan to have kids, and I will be a stay-at-home mom. Is this strange?

Answer 1

No not at all in my opinion. The knowledge you get from your education will never be a burden too heavy to carry. It will be there with you and you'll see that you'll have use for it in different ways even though you might not be working with it. And, if something were to change in the future, maybe when the kids are grown up, then you have an education. My kids are adult now and I find that I have a bit too much time on my hands. I'm not working but I do put my knowledge to use in different ways and I'm constantly learning more simply because of the joy of it.
