Here's the kicker though:
Grad school is by definition, professional training for academia, if you were more a hacker-type, would you be eventually forced into "publish or perish" thinking instead of building real world applications. And If you were to immerse yourself eventually in the hallow halls of the ivory tower, would you (meaning an average person) be able muster the courage (and I'm serious) to have enough faith in your ideas to become a grad school drop-out?
