Should a Software Engineer Marry a Teacher?
I'm a 28-year-old software engineer, earning between 35-50 LPA, and currently at a crossroads in my personal life. I’m considering marrying a girl (26 years old) who is preparing for government job exams. She has taken a break from her previous job for this preparation. She holds an MSc in Mathematics and has successfully cleared several competitive teaching exams like HTET, CTET, and NET.
On a personal level, I like her personality, and we get along well. I find her attractive too. However, I’m a bit confused about the profession aspect. If she secures a government job, I would likely need to stay restricted to Delhi NCR region due to her job's location preferences. She’s okay with working in the private school/colleges for now, but her long-term goal is to secure a government job. There’s also a possibility that she might pursue a PhD in the future.
I’d love to hear thoughts from those who’ve been in similar situations. Is it practical for a software engineer to marry a teacher with such career constraints? How do you handle the balance between career growth and personal relationships? Any advice or experiences would be really helpful!
I would say just consider other options too.
Na ho paye. government job tak theek tha. PhD karo ya marriage, ek hi cheez ho sakti he is age mein. In 3-5 years you would have to plan family any ways. There won't be anytime post that.
See nobody can predict the future maybe tomorrow you don't have a job and she is the one earning. Or maybe tomorrow you might get a better high paying job in another country. What I will say is follow your heart so that in future you don't have a guilt.
