    1. Choose the right approach: What do you already know about each solution? What do you still need to know? How can you get the information you need? Make a list of pros and cons for each solution.

      Solution 1 would be to get a 4 year degree. Pros: You can learn more and have better job opportunities. Cons: can cost more money and takes away from spending time with family. Solution 2 would be finishing a 2 year degree and getting a job. Pros: Able to start making money sooner and have more time for family. Cons: Might not have as many job opportunities. Solution 3 could be to work now and go back to school later. Pros: You can save some money and gain more working experience. Cons: It might be hard going back to school later, I would say I still need to know the peoples ages because we know they want to start a family in about 2 years but the guy also wants to work and go to school so if they are pretty young I would say to finish school completely first then have kids so you’ll be financially stable and be able to provide for your family but if they are pretty older I’ll say to do the 2 year degree option then plan for kids because that way you will have some knowledge and you might still be able to get a job and you’ll be able to have a family, also when the kid gets to a certain age maybe you can even return to school after that and get a higher degree.

    2. Generate solutions: What are at least two “right” answers to each of the problem pieces?

      I would say that finishing the 4 year college and learning more about programming to be able to get a video game design job after finishing college and start working full time to save money so that you’ll be able to provide for your family are some solutions.

    3. Narrow the problem: Can you break down the problem into smaller manageable pieces? What would they be?

      The problem can be broken into smaller parts by separating money, time, career and family issues such as how much will a four year college cost, is it gonna be affordable? Can school, work and family responsibilities be balanced? What education and programming skills are needed to become a video game designer? And How will continuing both school and work affect the plans the have kids?

    4. Define the problem: What is the core issue? What are the related issues? Are there any requirements to a successful solution? Can you come up with a metaphor to describe the issue?

      The main problem is deciding whether to continue at a four-year college to become a video game designer and still have time to start a family soon because you and the wife also work.
