Decision making... part one

I'm thinking about university alot lately, trying to figure out if i want to spend 9 years in school to teach at a university level and write, do i need to? IS that what i want? Will I ever know what i want for a career? At todays prices a doctorate costs 60,000 just for tuition, not including books, living expenses, and so on...it's a rich man's game to say the least. I sometimes feel as though this is my station, and any attempt to be a class jumper, might be an excercise in futility.

I think you should follow your heart. I know, very cliche for me to say!! But I think you know what you want to do, and it's ok to go after it. You just have to be willing to sacrifice some things.

What kind of writing do you want to do? Are you doing it already? Because you don't have to wait for some stupid degree if you have the capability. All you need are the right connections, and the purest ambition. That, and knowing you can do it. That's what got me where I am right now. And I know I'll go even farther.

PS - Michel bought a place in Dieppe. I may be moving in.
