I resolved to return to school when my wife completed her education. It has come at a great personal cost. But it has enhanced my career. I now work as an engineer. The scientific foundation I have acquired has made me capable of understanding more than I had ever dreamed existed.
Life is full of trade-offs.
I believe that having put my personal life on hold will be well worthwhile in the long run. The quality of my life, intellectual and financial, will be enhanced by my education. But right now all I feel is tired. I am looking forward to getting back some of my personal life and free time.
