Well, I'm generally not a big fan of martyrdom. For the most part, I believe taking care of ourselves is the right thing. I think you're a hero for standing up for yourself! I think it was ultimately the right decision for me, though. I think, at that age and where I was in my spiritual development, I would have been plagued with guilt if I had left. I did make it very clear to everyone that was it, though. There were a host of people that wanted me to go get more degrees, but I did at least draw that line.
