<human>: When we started dating, she said she wanted to be a nurse.  Cool, I thought - that's well paying and respectable/meaningful.  She didn't get into the program and is now settling for a poor paying, simple job.

She has not moved in with me (yet), but if she settles for this poor paying job I may want to end the relationship.

The money is a big problem with the job she's settling for, but another issue is that this demonstrates her work ethic.  What can I do?  She has never put in the HARD WORK to get what she (says) she wants, maybe I should end it... I don't want to be with somebody who isn't a hard worker.

I have an average paying job and if she goes down this path I WILL BE the one working the long hours to get the things we want in order to live how we want... opposed to if each of us had an average paying job, we would be fine.

<bot>: Girlfriends career aspirations nearly gone, not sure if I should stay in a relationship with her if she gives up so easily and can't make decent money.
