I've been thinking about a PhD program (and the post-bacc pre-med program, and math programs). I think if I got a PhD, it would open me up to working in a lot of other fields. I feel like I want to change the world in such a big way, I want to influence humanity in such a big way, and while being an artist is a sufficient outlet for that, its really not enough sometimes. It becomes a bunch of beaurocratic crap after a while, with a little bit of actual art-making.
I think about people like my great grandfather, who worked with FDR and Churchill, and made MAJOR changes to the U.S. and world economies, and like, I want to do THAT. (I mean, I'm not an economist, but, I want to change things for the better on THAT kind of level.)
