[quote=Anonymous]20:06 - way off.  You are right, PP.  There are programs which you don't even have to test to get into the NP program.  Georgetown is one of them.  They can barely graduate you, but it won't matter.  Many programs are HAPPY to take your money!  I am shocked at how many do not realize this, seriously.  You have not been seriously looking into it if you think otherwise.  You can't call them up and say "you don't need this, right", but if you are savvy, you can get around MUCH.  GL.

OTOH,  I rather agree with PP who says you HAVE to like what you do.  Too many are looking for the next windfall instead of what they know or even LIKE.  You can NOT typically change careers at age 50 and make millions.  It does NOT work that way.  You can NOT get on board what you see as the "next big thing" as if you are getting in line for some sort of hand out because "so and so did it".  Again, that is not reality.

It seems so many rode the wave and lucked out for so long, they think they are somehow owed.  How much sense does that make?  Zero.  I always said if we can't afford the area, we'll go elsewhere.  Unfortunately we may have to do just that.  So what.  It's not the end of the world.  It is called sacrifice.

So many I know married thinking they were going to have certain things - they were somehow owed certain things.  Sometimes that is not how it goes.  "For better or for worse" anyone? Are people really that clueless?  Really?

Besides, is it really "sacrifice" to leave this area?  Very probably NOT!

OP, you need to do what you are trained to do, what you once liked, what you are good at - and somehow apply those.  It doesn't just come out of the blue, and money does NOT fall at anyone's feet.  That I know at least.
