I suppose I can answer this question by talking about myself and my brother.
I'm graduating in August with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. Besides carrying a full course load, doing research, writing a thesis, working about 25-30 hours a week, and trying to start a company. How do I get it all done? Simple- I love engineering. That probably makes me about the biggest nerd in the world, but there it is. I love this shit, what else could I do with my life?
Meanwhile, my brother graduated with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering after being in school for 6 and a half years, and has just kind of drifted along in a tech support job that he is over qualified for.
What's my point? We both pay the bills, stay out of debt, and keep ourselves in good health. In other words, we're both self-sufficient adults, despite our very different career paths. What more could matter? I don't think your fiance would be bent if you dropped out of college, or failed, as long as you figured out what you wanted to do with your life. That's all that's important.
