Seriously, though, the more I ruminate about the subject, the more it seems to me that I should just step back, analyze my motives for executing my vision the university route, and see things for what they are.
Mainly, that if my end goal is to have my own practice, I don't actually need a title. Customers don't care about titles. Employers do. But working for an employer was never the end goal. My own practice is.
So maybe I should just save a few years of my life and jump to the endgame - start my own practice.
The university route is one route.
Jumping straight to the endgame is also one route.
The first has the benefit of not having to think about anything myself for at least five years.
The latter saves time, but I won't have the chance to outsource the decision of what to learn; I have to make those decisions on my own, blindly, in the dark.
