- Have you had an honest conversation with yourself?
- Jumping back into school after 4 or more years of rigorous study may leave you feeling burnt-out or unsure about graduate level academics.
- Ask yourself these questions to help paint a clearer picture for yourself:
- Is the topic something you’re passionate about and can see a future in?
- Why do you think grad school is your next best step?
- How do you feel about the prospect of graduate school?
- Is it flexible?
- If you want to go to grad school, but aren’t ready yet think about deferring your acceptance for a semester or a year. This may lead you to finding a job during your gap time.
- Considering a more flexible option like a gap year is one option. Or, you could consider a program that allows you to work while getting your graduate degree.
- What are the costs?
- For some professions, graduate school is required. But for many, it is not.
- Reviewing your current student loans and weighing in the additional cost of grad school versus your expected postgraduate salary.
