Graduate School or No: Weighing Your Choices After Graduation

 

It seems like you can’t go to college these days without someone asking if you’re going to graduate school. For some, the answer is clear. For others, the decision is much more complex. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you decide whether grad school is right for you.

 

Do You Know What You Want to Do After Graduation?

The purpose of graduate school is to study an area or discipline in detail, with the idea that you will take that knowledge and pursue a career in that field. If you don’t know what you want to do, graduate school most likely isn’t the place to figure it out.

What considerations should students keep top-of-mind when weighing post-graduation options?

Overall, it’s most important to know your goals and ask yourself what you want from a postgraduate degree and why. Will the degree provide advancement along the pathway of your desired career and ultimate goals? Do you need this degree for the field you are in? Will this degree make a difference in salary potential or job security? These are all questions you need to ask yourself when considering graduate school.
