Except that I don't have a PhD. I'm not sure if I want one because I'm actually interested in pursuing the careers it would open to me, or if I just need the encouragement of a piece of paper on the wall stating that I've done something with myself. Probably both. Nevertheless, I feel wildly jealous of everyone in graduate programs and with graduate degrees.
I think I've seen two measures of success: 1. Graduate school and 2. Producing offspring. I don't think I've done nothing all these years, but I don't seem to have gotten anywhere with either of those two. I'd like to think of my goal as Love/Happiness - because if you've found those, what does it matter how you got there or what it looks like? - but it's hard to know I'm on the right track or on the track at all.
Perhaps I should try this...

i already knew that you had a ph.d. in awesomeness. problem SOLVED!
plus, as your official guinea pig, getting a grad degree in anything you don't absolutely love can make you extraordinarily miserable. which goes against the goal of love/happiness. though i still must add: sometimes taking the challenges and making the sacrifices is totally worth it.
