I’ve decided that I can’t make the personal sacrifices that I’d have to make to move from Hollywood (where my two young kids are) to Gainesville. I’m sold on the career and feel that it would be a great life, but I have to find something else. I’m considering the Urban Planning program at FAU. I can do it part time, while keeping my job and it’s in my back yard. It’s not design, but it puts me in similar thought circles.

Am I making a big mistake?

Hi Daniel,
I did apply to grad school this year, but have been planning this from before the economic implosion. It’s looks as though I’m going to have to put off grad school for at least another year because of it. I applyed to UT(Austin) and UF( Gainesville) and just for fun I applied to Harvard. I’m trying to switch carreers and need to plan on giving up my income for 3 and half years. That’s hard to pull off.
Best,
Gene
