I'm closing in on a decision. I think that the conclusion is clear - getting a PhD does not jive with my life goals. I don't think it ever did - I just didn't understand what it entailed until I could experience it for myself.
I do not think that I will regret this decision one bit. This is not my only opportunity to do this - so if in the future, I'm a different version of me - and that future me wants or needs a PhD - she can get it. And she can do so with the confidence that she is more than capable. That it isn't anything that's too difficult or beyond her reach. But present me, the me that I am today - and for the foreseeable future - doesn't need or want a PhD. What I want is a flexible job that can work around my family. I want to be home in the evenings to have dinner with my husband and kids. I want to be around on the weekends to play games and take trips. I do not want to be chained to a job. I do not want to make that kind of sacrifice.
And so, tomorrow I will meet with my advisor. I will tell him the truth - and I will listen to any advice he offers. I am reserving my decision until Friday - at which point I will decide, and go with that decision without a look backward.
resolute,
g

You mentioned Silvan in your previous post ~ GO FOR IT!! I teach and let's just say a lot of the kids these days need lots of help. Or private tutor ~ but keep it semi cheap. The ones that need help have parents who can't afford a $40/hr tutor.
