I share similar sentiments as previous posters.
One thing I have realized over the past few years is that life is way to short. Quit and go travel. You will never regret it. When you come back, you will be a better person having gone and experienced a few other cultures along your travels. Something a Rice education will never be able to provide.
If they are willing to put your through this program now, they will be willing to do the same when you get back as it sounds like you are on their future leaders radar.
I am married and have a kid and never got to experience something like this. Although I have no regrets, if I could go back in time I would definitely have taken some time off to experience the world.
