My degree costs $0-4k for the first 4 years and then about $4k for my master's degree. Again I'm not concerned. It can't really get that much worse. We got to try.

Am I missing something? Surely he doesn't think he can put his volunteer work under "Employment History" on his resume and expect to become an assistant prinicipal of a school! Sorry, no, those dishy admin jobs are going to go to teachers who have worked in the field as paid teachers with TEACHING CREDIENTALS since they were in their early 20s.
I too would caution losing his disability. Once you are paying for everything including and most importantly MEDICAL INSURANCE which they don't just give you with your job WITHOUT SUBSTANIAL DEDUCTIONS your husband's having to first pay for his insurance then the co-pays they heap on top of it (for example, I have to pay $25/PCP/pdoc visit, $40 per visit to a specialist, anywhere from rarely $5 but more often $10-20 per prescription monthly, YIKES! These things ADD up fast. Between taxes and heatlth insurance, nearly ONE-THIRD of H's salary is gone before we even see it in the bank. That SHOULD scare you to be CAREFUL of losing your benefits.
