I disagree with the money = happiness. I feel that if an opportunity comes up, and the only person you have to consult with is yourself then you just have to have the mindset to take a chance or stay where your at. It's all about being happy and doing what you enjoy. Maybe this job will make you enough to go back to school full time after completed and get a degree. I am also pursuing schook again after dropping out. I have went from the 35k a year job down to making under 2k this last year. And you know what I am 1000 times happier now than I was when I was comfortable and enjoying steady paychecks. I took some chances, and almost lost the one person in my life that makes a differance to me, but now everything I risked has actually made me a better person and I wouldn't change that for anything.

I ask myself what if all the time. What if I had stayed with the company I was making 35k a year at ( they lost every project they had 3 months later and fired over 400 people)... I don't even want to know what might of happened, but I wonder if things would be as good as they are now for me.. I really doubt it.

Just do what you truly think you need to do and enjoy life, cause honestly you only get one shot at it.
