I discovered today that I tend to try and repair other people's issues and problems instead of facing my own various dilemmas. I truly do have some large ones to take care of, and I simply don't want to think about them. The biggest is this: do I go to graduate school and be poor for a few more years, or do I finally get a job and actually not be so 'fiscally' stricken, and then go back for the masters degree, knowing what it is exactly that I'd like to spend 8 hours per day doing. That's the question, really.

See, I want to be outside, not stuck in an office all day for 30 years. That's rather not appealing. But how do you move up and be successful? Usually, you're stuck in an office. Maybe it's the cake and eat it both, but I want a job that gets me out there, where I travel and meet people and do interesting things. In short, I'd like to enjoy my job and work up from there.
