My GF Wants 1 Job, But I Want Her to Have This Other Job

A man asks Dan Savage what he thinks about this situation with his girlfriend. The girlfriend took a high-paying job to pay off her debt. During that time, the boyfriend supported her. Now that the debt is gone, the girlfriend wants to quit her high-paying job because it turns out she doesn’t like it. But the boyfriend is encouraging her to keep her high-paying job so they can save for a house … and also because he just likes the idea of a girlfriend with this particular high-paying job. WHO IS RIGHT?
