I’m not readings all the posts here bec they’re way too many but I will answer your question. I am a kollel wife who was originally being supported a small Amount but not enough to cover my rent. I had no degree yet since I got married early, and we decided that my husband would continue learning and I would put myself through school so that I would be able to earn a decent salary. It’s not easy and there are a lot of things that you need to consider. How long will your schooling be? (Ba/ma?)What kind of schedule will you have? Is it even possible to work while in school? What is your earning potentiAl look like? How long will he learn? Will he consider tutoring on the side? You need to decide what degree you are going for and what school as this will make a huge impact on weather u can work while in school. For us it was hard since I chose to do a program that would take me 4 years but would allow me a substantial income when done. It was tough as most of my schooling it was not possible to work so we took out loans for the bare minimum and managed. The questions is how much ur willing to sacrifice for this. Overall it is manageable but how hard it is depends on the standards you are living now and how much you will be able to earn while in school. I also saw you mentioned seminary while in school keep in mind you prob won’t be able to work with this arrangement.
