About a week ago I made the momentous decision to stop pursuing my PhD. Why, you ask, after all the work I've done? Well, the real work is yet to come and I just don't feel like I can give 100% to my degree AND 100% to my family. The long and the short of it is that my family comes first. End of story. It's not a complete wash though, I am able to get another MEd out of it. So, I truly am overeducated and underpaid! Two MEd's and an MS, not too shabby. I'll live with the shame of quitting, no problem!
