well put Matt

really the gear is lowpriced, midpriced, and highpriced and once you buy into one of those levels you can generally buy and sell gear at little to no loss.... the initial buy-in can be tough but once you're in the amount of new money you need to put into the hobby is relatively minimal.

That ain't shit considering the grand scheme of things.  I'm by no means trying to belittle the amount of work you gotta do.  I remember my last week with finals/projects/papers/presentations.  I thought'd it'd never die.  However, when it's all done - that's the scary part.  Real life sucks!

these aren't some undergrad papers that you can bang out in a night, and when they give you 2 weeks to take a test you'll need all 14 days. this is a little more strenous than getting my bachelors degree
