I cannot make up my mind

I have spent the past few weeks thinking about it. This burning desire to take it a step further is just something I cannot let go. It has been awhile since I completed my Masters degree.. and the quest for more knowledge is uncontrollable. I have two options, to do it locally on a part-time basis, or apply for a scholarship to do it outside this country on a full-time basis.

"Follow your heart" is what my mother says. "I know you can do it" is what my father says. And my loving husband says "I will support you, and be by your side through it all."

Yes. But there are just so many other things that I have to let go if I leave my job now. The salary that I am getting plus all the other attractive benefits are just things that I cannot risk letting go. Of course, I may be able to get a better job when I complete.. but what if I don't?

Well.. I still have another 9 months to think of it.
