One of these days I would like to go back for a masters. It would be nice to work @ studios for 3–6 more years, then go solo for 10 years, then slide into part-time solo practice and full-time teaching as my (God willing) kids grow up.
I lived in RI, and it is very expensive. But so is CA, so no real loss there. Almost everyone I met from RISD left Providence for good shortly after graduation; either NY, Boston or West Coast in many cases.
RISD seems to be very heavy on conceptual develpoment and a bit light on nuts & bolts practical application. I personally would prefer to go somewhere that has more balanced emphases on concept vs. practice. No real idea where that would be, though.
