You received some great information, and I wanted to ask you more about your hesitation specifically in regards to the "difficult economic times" that we are in/headed for.
Do you feel you can "weather the storm" with the worst-case scenarios, financially speaking, in order for you to return to school? Although it may be a difficult time for others, it may not be for you. Do you have enough money in both short-term and long-term savings to make you comfortable (and/or to cover your living expenses for 6-months or 8-months if the paycheck were to cease?). Can you still contribute to a retirement fund, health insurance and life insurance, so that you are able to get through the difficult economic time (and not add on potential new financial stress, if you did not have these basics)?

Just some more food for thought!
