Well, I have all these forced breaks in the form of school and required internships, so it's impossible to fully commit for the next 3 years -- I don't want to drop out. I guess that makes me not-so-serious...but I don't really see what I'd buy with the all-or-nothing approach. It seems like I'd miss out on all the experience/knowledge I'm getting now if I totally shut it down, and I can't imagine spending my spare hours on anything else. Sorry, don't mean to be rude, just puzzled.
