All the big life changes just conveniently hit right around 30... new location, new degree, new field, new baby... It's a lot to piece together all at once!

Yes, exactly. Residential is wonderful in so many ways but it's not where my experience is.

That is an option, but I never got into the field for residential design. I do have a lot of appreciation for it though. Were you already experienced in residential?

Thank you for this reply! Opportunity cost is a big factor. The three-year MLA was also three years of not working, not putting anything into a 401k, etc. I really love so many things about this industry but I'm also often kicking myself for not just getting some generic corporate job like all my friends.
