Description
This article is from the U.C. Davis
FAQ, by David F. Prenatt, Jr. netesq@dcn.davis.ca.us with
numerous contributions by others.
10.1.1) Should I attend graduate school after I graduate from U.C. Davis?
That's a very personal decision, but generally speaking it's not a
good idea to attend graduate school right after you graduate. Some
people enjoy college so much that they can't bear the thought of
leaving. However, don't attend graduate school straight out of
college simply because you can't find a job. You'll just put yourself
further into debt without any real idea of what you want to do once
you complete your education.
10.1.2) When should I attend graduate school? (Life after U.C. Davis)
That's a very personal decision, but generally speaking the people who
get the most out of graduate school are the people who have at least
three years of work experience or other experience in their chosen
career. Work experience or other experience outside of college will
help you find out what to expect from the real world once you complete
graduate school. You may do so well in your chosen career that you do
not wish to return to school. On the other hand, you may also find
out that you don't really want a career in the field that you have
chosen. If this is the case, you are well-positioned to change
careers by going to graduate school with absolutely no harm done.
