grad school = money + only being away from home 15 hrs/wk. it’s a good gig.

I’m a grad student but I want to quit my program to be a mother as full time as I can be. However my husband doesn’t make enough money to support that on his own, so I’m exploring ways to make money from home (without spending all my time working!). Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
- online test grading through ETS
- editing dissertations and theses for grad students
- tutoring jr high, high school, and college students
- freelance writing
What I’m trying to figure out is if between those things we could have enough money. So first I have to figure out how much money I’d need to make!!
