If your ultimate goal is to stay at home for the next 20 years after having your first kid, you aren't utilizing those skills; you're using college to marry up via a bait and switch technique, and you're taking the spot of someone else who actually intends to use the things you learn at college.
That's quite a bit different than staying at home until the kids are toddlers, then rejoining the workforce.

I have plenty of my classmates who earned expensive advanced degrees only to get knocked up shortly after graduation and have spent the past years not working. One of my other friends, who's a girl, doesn't understand why you would do all this work to get a Master's degree, spend all this money and then just get knocked up and stay home. Seems odd to me as well.
