Oh BOY have I been there...a couple of years ago I was thinking of going to grad school, even got as far as getting accepted and scheduling orientation. I drove myself crazy (and everyone else around me) trying to decide what to do. I asked everyone's advice that I could think of, I prayed over it, talked to some of my old professors...I really obsessed over it for a long time. I felt like it was such a big decision, and I didn't want to make the wrong choice. Finally I just sat down with myself, tuned everyone else out, and made a "pro" and "con" list. I realized that what I really wanted to do was be a mom, and I didn't want to work full time. I figured that spending that amount of money on a graduate degree would be pointless at that time of my life if I wouldn't be working enough to pay the student loans. I have never regretted my decision to not go back to school. ((((hugs)))) and good luck with whatever you decide (and sorry this ended up being so long!)
