Being an educator myself, I whole heartedly agree with what you are going through. Even though your sig, states that you have reached a relatively high level of proficiency for your field, "everyone" needs to strive to reach their highest obtainable goal. For myself, I get so frustrated when students do not realize the potential that they have and just seek the needs for now. I can not count the number of students that have dropped out of school to get a job so that they can make payments on some #@%^ car.
Hang in there. You can NEVER have too much education, unless it is in a field like Underwater basket weaving or Philosophy.

What about majoring in music appreciation, with a minor in cultural histories?? LMAO
I appreciate the sentiment, I do, but it seems to be a daunting task, and with all the press on student loan rates and such, makes me nervous. As far the top of my field, yes, I am at the top. At the age of 30 I have been told I have capped my own salary, and will never move out of the shop.
Yeah, not what I was expecting either. So, with that in mind, I shall start my journey in a few weeks, and hopefully, I will have the job I have been after for several years. I can't stand to leave all the knowledge I have and start over, but if this comes through, I shall pass my know how onto others.
