[Ask ] a reasonable life or an interesting …
I'm mentally at a crossroad.
I have a reasonable job, paying reasonable wages, with reasonable benefits and
in a relaxed environment. I have a lot of free time after work (yes I get off
work at 5 if not earlier) and can put away some money every month after rent
and expenses. My boss loves me and I handle something at work that only I can
do, so my job is secure for now.
I'm single and unattached.
I have a graduate degree, but in a very narrow field.
Should I stay at my reasonable job and use my savings to buy a reasonable
house, and thus settle down for a reasonable life, or go back to school for
an advanced degree?
Going for an advanced degree is damned expensive, and I'll blow my savings (and
likely take on debt), lose my reasonably relaxed lifestyle, and I may not
get a better job out of it, given the business climate.
I just want to hear people's thoughts on this.

I guess the issues are that
1) my life right now is rather uninteresting,
2) is this all there is? (damn I'm having a midlife crisis, lol)
3) is it too late to pursue my dream, or too risky to sink my savings into it?

"Better late than never" is right :)
At least I can start with taking the standardized tests and see if I actually
have a shot - those aren't THAT expensive (when compared to the cost of the
actual education)...
