yea i agree with the money bit, it's hard justifying unhappiness monetarily. 
although personally i've been working in a private sector ever since leaving 
Uni. and have been trying to get back in to a educational environment ever 
since. so like the other follks on the list, decide where you'd want to be 
10-20 years down the road and shoot for it.

Megan, how would having the educational experience on your Resume hurt 
chances with a finical firm...just because you be an industry "outsider" or 
is there a stigmata on people coming off university jobs? just curious....
