Income difference

So my bf and I both moved to a new state after college for jobs.

He has an engineering position and quickly rose into a management role which pays decently well. He doesn’t love his job but it’s a good paycheck.

I took a job in the animal industry. Which I love my job but the pay is much lower than his. But I’m not making pennies, it’s just not a doctor/engineer/lawyer kinda salary. But he makes nearly double what I make.

He constantly talks about how we need more money and we need to figure out how to make more. I know he wishes that I went into a field that came with a higher income. I hate that he is making me feel bad about my salary.

The real icing on the cake was after years of applying, one of my best friends got into med school. He was like oh wow, she’s going to be a doctor. She is going to have such a high salary. But she already has sooo much debt from undergrad which is going to be so much higher after med school. Im so happy for her Pershing her dreams! But why would he even comment on that? He doesn’t know her financial situation? Also, why does it matter?

I just wish my bf would accept that I went into a field I’m passionate about. But he is just money hungry.
