The passion in this thread is outstanding, I had no idea it would get this long when I posed the question.
Joining back in now, I have to say that I too appreciate the journeyman model, but then its very similar to how I arrived at where I am today so why wouldn't I :) For me the part that doesn't work in the University model is the need to make up one's mind early, with little room for change later. I chose to become a husband and father and buy a house in my mid twenties. At the time, it was, and still is slightly more important than my education. And yes, I realize that with every choice comes consequences - but for some reason the idea that my choice to "put down roots" will cost me so much in terms of the advancement of my career is a little hard to swallow. I will continue on the path I've been on, growing my skills, looking for mentorship and taking every opportunity I can. If and when the timing is right, I will return to school for my masters - but reading the posts by Todd and Dave and others of you who do not have them has given me a bit more confidence to believe I am doing the right thing.
