I'm Accepted. Now, should I do it?

Friday night I got the email (pictured above) announcing that I have been accepted to the Instructional Technology Masters program at USU. Pretty cool and very good to know. Now, the tricky part comes, deciding if I want to actually want to do it.

"Why," one might ask, "would you spend all the time and money to take the GRE, meet with program advisors, and apply if you don't want to actually GO?" That is a good questions, a very good question. An excellent question. One that deserves an answer. A very good answer. An excellent answer. That answer lies in the fact that I simply wasn't sure then if I wanted to do it but didn't want to waste a year trying to get in if I made my mind up after the application date (which is actually the case, good thing).

Here are the reasons why I WOULD want to:

• I am not sure I want to work for myself my whole life, this would give me skills that would apply in both arenas


• I would learn some pretty cool stuff


• I would be back in Utah with friends and family


• If the economy doesn't turn upward, 97% of graudates from USU with this degree are hired on the spot...there are literally waiting lines for grads
  

Here are the reasons why I WOULD NOT want to:

• I love the East and am really enjoying life outside of Utah


• My snowmaking business would go tons better in the East


• It's expensive and takes time away from my business life


• I'd miss fall in New York


• I am not the biggest fan of school


• Things are starting to happen in my personal business endeavors

So, hopefully, by this time next week, I will have a decision made. Wish me luck!
