I don't think that delaying a degree is necessarily placing it at
a lower level of priority.  It merely recognizes that the windows
of opportunity for the two are different.
 
To demonstrate this with an extreme example, consider the choice
between spending three hours learning about html or watching a
hockey game during that time.  If I spend the time reading, the
opportunity to see the game is lost.  However, I can always read
about html after the game is finished.
