 I have yet to do the one thing I wish before I die
SwellJoe: Unless you have other responsibilities that you haven't mentioned, like, say, a wife and children, there's no reason you shouldn't do exactly what you want to do with your life.Money, beyond subsistence, isn't really correlated with increased happiness, as numerous studies have shown.  Just make sure you always have a reasonable level of health insurance coverage.  Otherwise, I can't think of any good reason not to do what you want.At the very least, if you find you really don't enjoy it and that it isn't worth giving up two or three or four more years of your life to schooling, you'll put that nagging question of "should I..." to rest, and it'll only cost you a few grand and one semester.  I find that having those kinds of questions nagging at my mind is far more detrimental to my emotional well-being than the actual outcomes.
