I want to return to university eventually and upgrade my education, but first I want to earn money, get married and have kids. How long should I wait?

Young adulthood is the biologically appropriate time to reproduce, for a woman. It's not the norm these days, but it's the reality. Others are saying that college will be so much harder after you've had kids, I would counter that with having kids will be so much harder when you're in your thirties and don't have the same kind of energy and health that you do now. Look around you at the people in their '30s having kids, they are so often struggling, not with money, but with exhaustion. The issue is that you need to have someone that will be able to support you in having children, and so therefore you need probably a bit older man who has the resources for it.

Upgrading education is always a good idea. Wait until your kids are at least five years old. Good luck.

Balancing personal goals with educational aspirations is essential. The timeline for returning to university depends on your individual circumstances and priorities. Consider your financial stability, family commitments, and career goals. Some people find a few years enough to gain financial security and start a family, while others may require more time. The key is to reassess your situation periodically, ensuring you move forward at a pace that aligns with your life priorities. When you feel ready and capable, returning to education can be a fulfilling step. Prioritize what feels right for you and your family.

Waiting is what is stopping you from achieving your goals. You got to see what you prioritize first. Its nice to upgrade your education but if your upgrading it for the sake of upgrading it then you have to see if its worth it over starting a family or making a living. I prioritized making a living after post secondary because paying off debt is not cheap nor easy. Universities now dont care much but education as compared to making money as a business. Relationship was second so i had the means to support myself and work in a joint commit. You need to set goals that meet your current needs. One can always go back to school but starting a family gets harder as you get older and the job market in Toronto is very competitive as is.

After you get married and when you have kids going back to college will be ten times as hard to do. Take my word for it- get it done now.

As long as earning money, getting married, and having kids is going to take, obviously.
