I am thinking about quitting my job to apply to graduate school. Worse, I am thinking about moving to the school campus 70 miles away and leaving my husband and teenager at home for the 2 1/2 years it will take me to complete the program.I have got to be flippin' NUTS. My devoted husband encouraged and supported me while I went back for my Bachelors degree and I have been in my new profession, sales/transportation, for a year now. After this year, I realize I am not happy. I read up on the Masters of Physician Assistant degree and I think I could be a PA and be happy and fulfilled. I know I can succeed academically and complete the program. But I am a GROWN UP, with a big girl relationship, a house, a brand new car to pay for, and a 15 year old son. The closest program for PA's as I said is 75 miles away. My husband says I can make as much money as a PA in my current job. But I am very self-aware, and I know in my heart I am not going to enjoy sales, like, ever. I'm just going through the motions and getting by day to day. I have always been a person who does what the hell I want to do, and just goes for it. But I have my family to think about. What can I do?

    Well it is wrong if thats how you would go about it. You would regret it later to leave your husband and son!?! Stop being so selfish.

    Is wanting to go to school wrong? No. Is the way that you want to go about it wrong? Yes. 'Nuff said.
