To feel off about boyfriend's idea of "success"

[Starbumb]

I am currently a nursery nurse and love my job, however I am a qualified teacher and although the nursery nurse pay isn't amazing, I adore my job.

Boyfriend and I had a debate in the car before about the idea of "success".

I said I'm very happy being a nursery nurse and I believe success is measured on happiness. He disagreed and said he'd be disappointed in me if I was still a nursery nurse in 10 years time when i'm 35 as I am a qualified teacher.

He believes money and ambition is the key to success.
I believe happiness is key to success.

I now feel off that if I did decide to stay as a nursery nurse that he'd be disappointed in me despite the job making me so happy.
Apparantly I am just a "glorifed babysitter".

@Devlesko that’s why I put so much emphasis on full time in my PP, this is a thread about working a low paying job and being happy. That is not you. 19k for 4-6 hours work is not low paying. The OP is talking about nursery work, that is certainly not 19k for 4-6 hours work a week.

As an side: I saw your post about buying your house outright at 33 because you also restore houses on the side. Totally not in keeping with the thread of is ‘low pay and happy ok?’ the assumption made my many posters is that you’d need to get a mortgage and so on on those funds or at least those 19k FT work funds would be the total income. This highlights that there is so much more to peoples answers on here than what they say in one post.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this but i don't care, it is doing my head in. PLEASE will everyone on this thread take note:

The plural of "nursery" is "nurseries"

The word nursery's uses the possessive apostrophe and would be more appropriately used describing something belonging to the nursery eg "the nursery's garden is well appointed".

You need to get a life

I've got one thanks.

I'm not the only person on here worried that a qualified teacher can't fucking spell "nurseries". Its a common word with a typical spelling, it does fucking matter that a teacher can't bloody spell it right actually.

I've got one thanks.

Clearly not.
