pumpkin soup

i want to be a professor eventually. i was just reading about phd programs—getting in, the looong years, et cetera…it seems so difficult. especially because i have a job already…is it worth giving up a career to go into academia? i do really want to go into academia, it’s just…it’s so much easier to go down the easier path. i know i have at least two years to worry about this, but it’s kind of important now too… i know i told myself i’d take an extra term to minor in math, but i don’t think i will. so should i even bother taking math 63? what if i get a horrible grade?
