    That must have been a huge decision!

    I had a similar choice about 10 years back ... two letters in the mail when we came back from holiday:

    Choice 1: Law School (1/2 fees paid)
    Choice 2: PhD (fully funded for 2 years)

    Choice 2 involved the girl I was with at the time ... that swayed it ... still wondering about that decision

    One reason I don't necessarily regret it is because I still don't like the idea of having to be a lawyer every day for my life until I'm old and grey, but I suppose the money and security would have been nice.

        Congratulations Devil. I just hope this doesn't affect your pick time in VD to the point you pick at my speed.

          Congratulations ! That's very exciting. Do you start in the fall ? Where are you going to school ?

              So does this mean you're a PhD?

              And congrats, ElD on getting into Law School!

              • Congrats Chris! Very cool stuff!
                I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

                  I've been doing some interesting work-from-home startup stuff with a buddy out of San Francisco that I've enjoyed. I have also really liked spending so much time with my son. It also looks like I might get offered a consulting gig for utilities which would pay nicely but involve significant travel.

                  I'm probably at about 90% decided to go to law school. The admitted students day that I went to yesterday was very impressive.


                  Edit: I think one of my reasons for hesitation is that I feel like I'm sort of becoming a professional student, just racking up advanced degrees but not advancing my career.
                  couldn't u still work with you buddy and do school? Sounds good either way except the traveling part that would suck if you have a family (except if your wife is like my ex then it would be a vacation LOL)

                  • I know all about feeling like a professional student. I've now attended post high school for 9 years now, and I still feel like I'm spinning my wheels. 2 am...bad time to read this thread.

                      Part of the reason I took so long to pick yesterday was work, but I also spent 4 hours working through what I feel is my best set of players to select. This means I will be selecting rather quickly, but it also helped me realize that El Diablo is right, picks are quickly getting locked up. 4 of my players I have plans to select either no one can or most likely will not take. The other 4 are quite shaky, but I figure to get at least 2 of them with little problem.

                          I spent about an hour going round in circles. Then I totally changed direction and just picked someone I wasn't even considering.

                          • No need to PM me. I'm going round in circles myself. I sure F'd myself. Oh well, I'll always remember my first time getting VD. I should post a pick pretty soon.
