Sharing the same alma mater as both Jack and Uday may response may be bias. Unlike Jack and Uday I worked for several years as an UI Designer and Interaction design before I attended CMU. For many of us, our entrance into the filed has been serendipitous %u2013 by either graphic design, architecture, computer science, psychology or even writing. The opportunity to spend two years getting a solid theoretical foundation coupled with opportunity for experimentation and exploration of possibilities has been worth every penny of my loans and missed income. Adam, Marillian you both mentioned geography as a limitation. When I began looking at Grad school I was given very sound advice by a mentor:
If you are going to be picky (which you should be) about the school you cannot be picky about the location. In my own experience, I left my family, friends, job and great produce in San Francisco to move to Pittsburgh PA. Its been Just over a year after graduation and many of my classmates remarked missing school %u2013 though none of use miss the sleepless nights. -Susan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
