So if your choice of leaving grad school takes you a step forward to that goal, then it's the right path to follow in my opinion. Phew, I'm getting philosophical :-) You're welcome. The HCII paper got accepted and there are quite a few interesting papers in the session on human behavior modeling, thanks for asking! Anyway, good luck with your company and who knows, our paths might cross again someday :-) I think it’s important to be able to enjoy your work, today and ten to twenty years from now.

The problem (for me) was that the career path after graduate school wasn't too appealing. I'll probably write a more in-depth post that describes why I chose to leave (especially in this wretched economy) and explain my thinking in more detail than the short blurb above. Thanks for writing and best of luck in your own work. I hope that the HCII conference came together well.
