The dilemma of the modern woman.
My suggestion: weigh your priorities -> make a tough choice or come up with a compromise that accommodates both ends.
I've heard the "focus on the education/career" mantra many times before, but it never maintained any validity to me. You know you have serious feelings for him, you know you want to be with him.
The way to compromise would in my mind look something along these lines (but by all means, radically change it): have a serious talk with him about your feelings, your objectives, your thoughts on the situation and possible future outcomes. Make sure you convey to him that you really want his input on the entire matter and to find a solution together that would work for both of you emotionally and physically, as well as not hinder the education/career objectives of either of you.
Working out together what to do is so much better than a person deciding "what is best for both of us". Never liked that sentiment, never will.
Wish you much luck should you stay true to your feelings, want to find a solution and have the determination to fight for having the best of both worlds. Otherwise, good luck with your education/career.
