My husband and I married just after he graduated from college—just before he started law school. While we were married, I finished my undergraduate degree. After he began working, we often harkened back to those days, lamenting that we couldn’t find a way to remain students forever while still making a living (because those mountain of student loans weren’t paying themselves off!).
