> Also, if you're willing to suffer through difficult higher education, imagine the pains you'll endure in relationships to make that work also :) This reminds me of a quote from Paul Grahams' "How to do What you Love" (http://www.paulgraham.com/love.html http://www.paulgraham.com/love.html): "If you think something's supposed to hurt, you're less likely to notice if you're doing it wrong. That about sums up my experience of graduate school."
