I try really hard not to judge other people for their life decisions, especially when it comes to love, but I do question priorities in choosing a life partner. I didn't date (or seriously date ;)) aspiring actors in my early 20s because financial stability was important to me, as well as a certain lifestyle, and I needed my partner to pull their weight. I wouldn't be able to stay with someone who so clearly didn't care about our joint financial success and goals.
As an aside, to those talking about statistics, my husband went back to school last year for a statistics/machine learning Masters program. He left a lucrative STEM field and a $120K salary because of limited career growth, some further limitations around flexibility (our mid-term goal is remote work) and some serious field-specific down sides (liability, lots of travel, etc). He took a year off work, spent $30K on the masters, and I floated the mortgage, so it was a big point of discussion for us - but I also make a healthy salary, and we don't have kids (yet) so the timing was right. He had two job offers before he graduated, and is already onto his second job. He took a $40K paycut, but he'll be back into the six figures (and beyond) within a year - and the field is growing so quickly, he has recruiters and companies after him all the time.
For us, that second masters really worked. No experience to argue for or against a PHD, though everyone I know who is PHD-level specialized has had long stints without work, or had to go far afield to get the one open position in their field.
