Thank you to all the suggestions, I forwarded them to her and it will be up to I guess figure out what she wants to do from here .
What did she want to be when she grew up? Why did she get those degrees in the first place?
Does she have any interest in teaching? In my state, a master's is required to teach at community college. At first (the bachelors in Biology) the goal was medical school but somewhere along the lines that changed.
Then it was teaching, she wanted to eventually teach at college level and do research. She loves doing research, data analysis, etc,
She has been in academia now for 2 years and is starting to realize that some of the tales of the backstabbing, cut throat and only the strong survive is real.
My wife is an introvert that does not care for confrontation which is total opposite of me: I strive on chaos and I don't mind confronting someone.
Ex: she worked her ass off on a presentation and basically did most of the work. Her name should have been the first one on there or the least second (academia: publish or perish).... It was Third or fourth with other people taking credit for her work. She doesn't say nothing....
She is the quote worker bee type that will just take it all in and come home and cry. Then I want to go to her job and smash people face in and I know I cannot do that.
And maybe it is because we work in two different fields. I am in a field were you are expected to be LOUD, aggressive, on top or you perish. You thought your horn and you take credit for every single thing you do. Bragging is encouraged!
As the VP of HR told a room of managers: if your VP doesn't know you on a first name basis; you are doing it wrong! You need to be the biggest advertisement for YOU that there is! You need to be LOUD!
Anyway I am sure she will figure it out; she is currently studying for the GRE and I told her to keep her options open. We can cover all our expenses under my income (would not save as much or pay of debt as fast) but ok with her going the PA route.... As close to being an MD/DO she could get without actually being one.
