Uncertain

I was on my way to work when it hit me. It's nothing new, but each time it feels overwhelming. Doubt. I have six days to submit my enrollment fee to guarantee my spot in the fall semester for my MBA program, and I'm not so sure it's the right thing to do.

My main purpose in getting my MBA is to teach at the college level. The more and more I look into it the more it seems that I will need at least a doctorate to teach. I keep asking myself if it's worth it. Can I even attain that before it changes yet again? How long will it take me to be able to do that?

My fears are overwhelming me. What will this do to me financially? How long will it take? Do I even have a shot at teaching? Do I even want to stay in accounting? Will teaching make me happy? What if I fail?

The last question is what is holding me back the most. I think I am just scared of trying something new. It's the unknown that is most frightening.
