So Rob Chin's doubts are gelling adequately enough as to the whole grad school thing, which is good for me because it's good to have an accomplice I can fully respect and not condemn, but also probably good for him, as he's actually likely to leave the profession at some point and reinvent sometime down the line when the economy is doing better--no reason to go to grad school and through more education if it's not vocational or born of genuine interest.
