If I had known more, I would have stopped with my MS, but it can be difficult to find jobs with just the MS. Either way, I think in your case you set realistic goals and expectations. I absolutely agree that completely giving up on our dreams is tragic.

And this can definitely apply to all areas of one’s life. Trying to lose weight a certain way when it’s not working. Staying in an unhealthy relationship because you’ve put in too much time to “quit.” It’s unfortunate that we do this to ourselves.
