Is it worth it?

I don't want to do two spring related posts in a row, but it is hard not to when birds are tweeting outside my window and the sun is beaming in. It almost makes up for the fact that I got one less hour of sleep last night :)

I would like to begin this post with a question. Is grad school worth it?
This is a question I have gone back and forth on in the past couple years. I have to admit that more often than not, I think it isn't worth it. It isn't worth the endless hours of work that my husband has to do. It isn't worth him taking ONE day off in the past three months (that includes weekends). It isn't worth the endless pressure and stress that he is constantly under.
Or is it?
This is definetely one of those situations where in five years we will have a much better idea of if it was worth it or not. Unfortunately, while in the midst of it, it is really hard to see outside of this endlessness.
I guess we will find out in the days, months, and years to come!
