Hi Nadeem, thank you for reading! Yes, I completely agree with you. I didn’t go into finances in my article, but I definitely ran the numbers and ensured that I had enough money saved to pay for the entirety of my Masters program and living and housing expenses for a couple years before I quit my job. I didn’t have kids or pets at the time, but of course those need to be considered as well. For some people, it is more financially sound to stay in their job.
